Collagraphs Inspired by Architecture

By Paula Briggs

Demonstrating collagraphs

Inspired by the amazing construction “Amphis” by Folke Köbberling and Martin Kaltwasser at Wysing Arts Centre, children aged 10, 11 and 12 spent four weeks drawing, printmaking and constructing a creative response.

This resource shares how students made collagraphs inspired by drawings made of Amphis. Part Two shares how students went on to make architectural constructions from foamboard and ink. This creative process could be applied to any architecture in any context.

We Need To Make More Banners!

we need to make more banners
Come on!

Let’s put our passion in the visual arts , and belief in the importance of arts education, to good use. Let’s make more banners to get our message across!

The Suffragettes did it, and Trade Union Associations still do it. Bob and Roberta Smith is great at it.

Banners can be eloquent, beautiful and powerful.

They can help build community and challenge preconceptions.

Think carefully:

What would your banner say, and how would you say it?

Send us your images of banners you have made #makemorebanners
