Primary prints : creative printmaking in the classroom

""As artist-in-residence at a London primary school, Anne Desmet developed the wealth of inspiring and unusual print ideas and projects illustrated in this book. Whether making printing plates from cereal boxes or from polystyrene pizza trays, she demonstrates, to great effect, how such low-tech, low-cost methods can be used singly or in combination to produce ambitious, mixed-media artworks to professional standards. And every technique described is printed without a press. Aimed at teachers and parents, working with groups of all ages, this book also offers invaluable insights for experienced printmakers. With user-friendly advice ranging from basic inking methods to the hand-binding of artists' books, this indispensable handbook also addresses the organisational aspects of working with large groups."--Back cover."
