My 17 year old brother is staying with me for two weeks and I have a lot of activities for us to do. I am going to get him to do some printing with flowers/plants. I might get him to do this after a neighbourhood walk or I might get him to do it when flowers in our house start to look a bit droopy... I am unsure yet! I will likely get him to do this as a postcard to send home to the family! This could be a fun activity to do with students. Would also be interesting to develop further, with students learning about natural dyes, as well as thinking about how this is a way of preserving memory (for example, if you did this with a wedding bouquet).
The information my brother will receive: Challenge: Use flowers and other plants to print What: This is often called Flower Pounding Printing. Gather flowers and leaves and press them into fabric or paper. You can then add to the image, by painting, drawing or sewing Inspiration: Comments are closed.
