More Monoprints

I gave an introductory class recently and had the kids produce monoprints. It is one of my favorite lessons to teach because it requires little prep time and materials. It's also quick, fun, and is such a magical process. After making their print It's great to watch the children peeling  back their paper to see what they've created.

Monoprints

Here are a few monoprints that students have done with me. We used tempera paint, brushes, 11x14 white paper, and a 12" roll of aluminum foil. I took this lesson from the Art in Action website. I concentrated on printmaking and design in college, and loved this simple way to communicate this process to children with great results. Rolling 9 inch lengths of foil gives a 9 x 12 image printed onto 11x14 paper. Enjoy!
