Monotypes

 
Posted by Picasa

2nd grade monotypes

We had a great experience making monotypes this week.  We actually painted the plate on our tables and
used a q-tip for drawing the image.  We then placed a piece of paper on top, burnished with our palm and pulled the print... voila!
The bottom image shows the process.

    1. Hello, I used regular Crayola Washable Tempera in the squeeze bottles. I just walked around each table and squirted about 2 quarters worth of paint. The pulled prints were 8x11 or so. To get everyone started on the right size I pre-painted the square(ish) shape for the 1st class and then everyone just followed that size in the next class.
