This Art and design video guides learners through the process of creating a lino or polystyrene print from their own drawing. Children learn how to transfer their designs onto a printing plate, carve or press in lines to create areas of contrast and safely use tools and ink rollers to make their final print. They practise applying pressure and controlling ink to achieve bold, expressive results.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). As part of the Drawing: Expressive drawing and mark making unit, this lesson helps learners develop confidence with printmaking techniques and understand how to use contrast, texture and composition to communicate ideas visually.
