-Ive started to develop the canvases, which will sit in the school allotment space. The canvases have been developed after discussing the needs of the space with the lead teacher at the school. -There were two areas in which I could add a print which were both 1m x 1m square spaces.
-Ive not heard back from the teacher about the zine edits, and I want to hold off printing the canvases which will reflect the colours of the zine til I can confirm a few details.
-I have printed out the pattern as the only thing that will change will be the colour, and have exposed the screens ready to print.
-I plan to put a block of colour behind the repeat images which were drawn by the children, reflecting the Riso prints these will be circles of different sizes, maybe as a halftone to make it a little more subtle.
-The drawn images are going to be printed in puff binder so there is a tactile nature to the canvases for the school pupils to engage with.
-There is a planned event for the allotment in the spring so this will be a deadline to head towards for both the canvases and the zine and also a leaflet to promote the event.
