Monoprints

In art we are doing a unit on printmaking.  Two weeks ago we started with monoprints.  I’m a little bit late with the post, but I only just got them up on the wall today.

A monoprint is a one-of-a-kind print; it cannot be reproduced like many other types of prints.  We created ours by spreading black paint out on a mat, then drawing a design with our fingers.  Once the design was drawn, students pressed a piece of paper on top and lifted it up to pull the print.  Here are a few close ups:

  1. I love the abstract work that the students have created.
    Thank you also for taking the time to post it. It is great to learn what your students are learning in school.
