Students use string and watered down tempera paint to make these wonderful symmetrical mono prints.
Students Learned/Practiced:
-Printmaking
-Mono-printing
-Using materials appropriately
-Symmetrical
-Composition
The students first put their names on two pieces of paper, put on a paint shirt, grabbed a magazine, and sat ready to go. On their tables I placed water down tempera paint on bucket lids; red, yellow, blue. I then put two pieces of yarn in each color (about 14 inches long).
Next, the students squeeze the extra paint out of a piece of yarn and place it on one of their pieces of paper - with one end of the string sticking out.
The students place the 2nd paper on top of the first (which has the string on it) and put a magazine on top. Slowly pull the string out. Peal the papers apart and repeat until finished.
