Note: Printmaking is an artistic process of transferring images from matrix to surfaces. The process involves various complexities. However, in this blog, we are going to talk only about printmaking activities for kids.

“Patterns, patterns everywhere

In places, you wouldn’t think of and care!”

Have you ever seen a child get excited over patterns or textures? 

How they observe the patterns, repeating themselves, creating magic. 

Children are the happiest when they observe new things in their surroundings. They cherish what they see and do. 

Give your little one a piece of ladyfinger dipped in paint. Notice how the child goes into a deep thinking process to create an art piece out of it.

They stop and reflect on the delightful process that is full of magic and fantasies. They witness the cause and effect of moving a brush on paper and understand the process. 

You might even notice your kid replicating their ideas through different techniques.

That, my friend, is the beauty of art. The alluring process of printmaking fascinates the kids. It is an artistic process involving printing textures or patterns. They experiment with making new patterns on different mediums. 

There is more to art with printmaking. It is not just any craft, rather a way of looking at the world. An artist observes patterns in everything around them. The world is full of mesmerizing patterns. One can connect to art in nature and life. One can observe patterns in symmetries, waves, cracks, foams etc.
