Maori New year - Matariki

Kia ora bloggers over the past few weeks we have been doing a piece of art. The piece of art we have been doing is mapping out Matariki, so we can see it when it is dark outside. The first thing we had to do was sketch out the design on a piece of paper. Then once we had finished sketching out the design we had to draw the same thing onto a piece of fome, but we had to do it backward and we had to press down on the piece of fome hard so when we printed it we would see it. After that it was time to print it, I did  3 pieces of printing. The first colors I did were dark blue and light and dark green, the second colors were black and blue and the last color was black, purple, and red. Then we had to go and get a big piece of paper and then put the piece of paper over the top of your design and then get the roller and roll all over the print. Finally, after the printing, we had to make a frame, this is how we made the frame first we got a big piece of paper and then cut it out with a knife, the shape was a square then we had to glue our printed pitcher out and glue it onto the frame. Have you ever done printing before?
