Print Making

Room 4 students all designed a picture, lightly drew it on to cardboard then traced their image with a hot glue gun. They then used paint on top of the glue then pressed it down onto paper.  Simple printmaking but the children all enjoyed it and came up with other ideas of how print making could be done.
