My Turlte Lino Print Collage

In year 9 I had an art assignment, which was to create a collage using different media and a lino print we created ourselves which had at least 3 colours in it onto a big piece of paper.

I decided to make my lino print a turtle because I like turtles. I chose to do the collage green because that is my favourite colour and it is a colour that usually represents turtles. I made a small turtle print and a large turtle print. I also made a turtle foot print.

I painted the background of the big piece of paper green then cut out the turtles from the paper I printed them on and glued them onto the big piece of paper. I then used the turtle footprint lino as a stamp and stamped it all over the paper so that it looked like a turtle had walked across the paper. I also drew little faces on each of the turtles.

Next I used some silver paint to paint little lines around some of the turtles and to outline other turtles. I also used some silver thread and a needle to stitch the thread around other turtles as a border. And that is how I made my turtle collage.
