Art gallery and printing workshop

We went to see an exhibition on print making in MK Gallery and one of the exhibitors involved, Sue Baker-Kenton ran a workshop. We got to choose from a range of printed sheets and block printed on top of them.

This was fun. On the ceiling there was a mirror image of the picture on the table. This was to show that in block printing, mirror images are printed so you really have to think about your picture especially if it includes writing. 
This was on stone.
Mum liked these tree prints. They were called Labyrinth.
 We put paint onto a sheet of perspex.
Then we lay that underneath our choosen printed paper and drew on top, taking care not to touch it with our hands in any other way or more paint would go on the paper than extected.
We decorated some of our prints with tissue paper and other things too.
 These are my friends.














Afterwards, got a tour around the main art gallery which had an exhibtion on treasures divided up into different rooms on portraits, sea and landscape.  The walls were painted red, blue and green for the different subjects. http://www.mkgallery.org/exhibitions/treasures_in_mk/
