Printmaking and the Interactive Whiteboard

Today I gave a Year 12 lesson on creating digital colour separations for printmaking to some fellow teacher candidates as part of our method area requirements.

The computer, in particular Photoshop or Illustrator, is an amazing tool when it comes to designing and playing around with print separations for transfer to printmaking techniques such as Lino Printing or Silk Screen printing.

(Feel free to leave your email in the comments box if you want a copy of my lesson plan!)

During the lesson I was able to demonstrate with use of an interactive 'Smart Board'. This was fantastic, not only could i stand along side the students - changing the dynamic of teacher at front/student watching - but we could also see the information and images large size projected while we worked, creating a creative ambience, the power of the image is not to be underestimated!
