Pathway: Simple Printmaking

This pathway invites children to explore the world about them as a way to begin to understand the concept of “print”.

Print –A mark made by pressing or rubbing something onto a surface.

Pattern – A design made by repeating shapes, lines, or colours.

Texture – How something feels or looks like it would feel (e.g. bumpy, smooth).

What is a print, and how is it different from a drawing?A print is made by pressing or rubbing onto something to leave a mark. It’s different from a drawing because you can make more than one copy of the same image using a printing plate.

How can we use our hands, feet, and objects to make art?We can dip our hands or feet in paint and press them onto paper to make prints. We can also press leaves, shells, or toys into materials like plasticine to create shapes and patterns.

Great Fire of London How did the fire start and why did it spread?
Sept 2nd 1666 - Thomas Farriner (bakery on Pudding Lane) from a spark from the fire Buildings close together Long hot dry summerWindy conditions

How did people fight the fire?
There was no fire brigade.  
People used leather buckets of water from river. Samuel Pepys persuaded King Charles to tell people to pull houses down using fire hooks to stop to fire spreading.
King Charles also gave permission for soldiers to use gunpowder to blow up houses to stop the fire.People escaped over the river in boats and on foot.

What was London like after the fire and what has changed?
Most of London had to be rebuilt and it took almost 50 years to finish it all! It was a hard time for the people who lived there.Lots of people died from disease and from the very cold winter after the fire because the temporary buildings were not good enough. New buildings had to be built from stone (rather than wood) and streets had to be wider so that the buildings were further apart. The first Fire Brigade was established after the Great Fire
