Art Group Day 7- Monoprints

 

Today in art group we made monoprints.  We've been talking about print making and last week our project could have made a series of prints.  Two of the girls did a series.  Today we looked at an original piece I have in my family room by Karen Kyler and talked a little about how some prints cannot be duplicated exactly because they are so layered and free-form.  We used tempera with textured shelf paper, bubble wrap, feathers, string, plastic forks, sponges, hands etc. in order to create a layered print.  It was a really fun project for all of the kids.  Good for a variety of age groups.  Bubble wrap is especially fun. 

 Here is Red Fish's project in progress.
