This project is kind of a hybrid of relief printing and monoprinting. Students used a product called scratch foam, but a styrofoam plate our takeout container works too!
Color your styrofoam with markers - all one color works fine :)
Dip your paper in water and pat dry - it should be pretty damp, no water pooling on the paper.
I am lucky to have a press, so we lay the damp paper on top of our colored styrofoam and run it through - you could just rub the paper with the heel of your hand - just be sure the paper doesn't move!
I just love this project :)
I just did this yesterday and used spray bottles, some of the students put on enough water...some did not..will need to try the pan of water!
ReplyDeleteI like the option of them adding new colors on the next print and comparing the difference
