Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - A synopsis by Ashleigh Watson

Mr Wonkas Factory is opening at last!,

but only five lucky children with five golden tickets are allowed to enter.
Introducing a spoilt brat, an extrodanary fat boy, a dimwitted chewing gum eater with the fastest jaws around, a tv freak, and young Charlie.

 

Bad, scary and extrodanary things happen to those five children as they explore the factory with Mr Wonka.

Will Charlie ever get what hes always longed for?

Happiness?

Ashleigh's Printmaking Instructions

* Firstly come up with some saftey ideas and talk about some different ways to use the chisel.
* Look at some different designs (Maori patterns) that you want to use and start practicing them on newsprint.
* Practice using the chisel on the other side of your woodcut design so you get the hang of it.
* Choose your blade that you want to use, they are V,C or U shape.
* Cut out your design on your board , you can do this by wriggling your wrist as you push. Remember to keep your hand behind the blade and use your other hand to keep the board still.
* Complete a crayon rubbing onto a piece of paper, if you are not happy with your design, think of ways to improve it and clean out ant cuts which are not deep enough.
* When you are happy with your design start to put some ink on your roller. You may select any colour, but dark colours are best.
* Now roll the ink onto your woodcut evenly.
* Get a piece of cartridge paper the size of the woodcut and place carefully over it and press firmly with a clean roller and fingers.
* Peel off carefully to reveal the wonderful print you have created.
* Repeat as many times as you want to make more prints.

Instructions for Printmaking

Firstly think of a theme or design you have seen or create your own, making sure its not too detailed otherwise you might not be able to cut it out.
Set up your equipment and place your base on your working area to protect your desk or table.
Put your board on top of the base and draw your design in pencilon the board, after you have completed some practice drawings.
Use your chisel to cut out your design, face the chisel away from yourself so you do not injure youself, use a wriggle action with your wrist as you cut.
When you've finished cutting out your design complete a crayon rubbing to check the cuts are made cleanly, then use a roller to apply ink evenly on the board.
Straight after you have inked the board, place paper carefully over the ink,roll and press firmly with your fingers.
You have created your own design, you can use and re-use this and even try different colours for different effects.
