using printing techniques?

Try making

your piece

mixed media!

FINDING NEMO / DORYPrint with old

sponges, toothbrushes and rags in a

rainbow of colours to create

a bright coral reef.

Print on to cardboard and old toilet rolls

then stick them down to create

your own 3D coral reef.

Use your body parts to print different fish.

MOANA

Print with a cotton bud to create patterns.

Create a wave with strips of a magazine in various colour

shades. Add printing on top for the splashes!

Layer up your

techniques for extra

effect.

Experiment!

THE LITTLE MERMAID

Print with a cotton bud to create patterns

on top of the seaweed strips.

On your walk to the

beach, collect some

seaweed and have a go

at printing with it.

Paint over the top of

the seaweed like a

stencil or dip the

seaweed in paint and

then print on to paper.

A SHARK’S TALE

Print a shape on to

some paper and

then once it’s dry,

make marking in a

black pen to add

detail.

Choose an object related to an ocean or a character from the

sea-themed film. Draw it then add a few random straight lines

over the top. Print different colours and materials in each

section.

Why not try and make it all about protecting our oceans?

Choose a plastic bottle and raise awareness of ocean pollution.
