It is a fascinating printmaking process and is non toxic unlike the old ways I learnt at Art school. The Intaglio and Relief Printing is well suited to a school situation and gives students a real appreciation of an old technology that is still developing and is a rich form of art in modern Australia. See Dianne Longley's [|website] for her printmaking and a great list of places to buy various materials needed and to be able to rent her studio. Alan and I plan to rent out the studio later in the year to print out some student work and some of our own as the day we went to was very inspiring.

On the 8th September the year 4 classes went to the Art Gallery of South Australia for an Italian and Art exhibition tour. We got to view and be guided around the current exhibition called "A Beautiful Line" and there was work from Renaissance artists such as Mantegna and Piranesi. Here is the brochure we filled in on the day:

We are going to be doing etching studies of Pranesi's architectural drawings such as the Prison series and the Roman Colosseum. David gave us a great tour and Senora Saraceno and I gave the tours around the permanent exhibitions containing Italian works. We did have to have a look at Big Mother in gallery 11!
