Monoprinting is a technique where an image is applied and worked onto plexiglass, then transferred to paper by placing it on top of the image and rubbing it with hands or putting it through a press. The children painted with tempera on plexiglass and the results were prints with interesting textures, shapes, and blended colors. After these dried I gave them pastels, black markers and more paint to work into the prints.
Some of the students focused on creating maps as an art form since that is this month's theme.
Others were inspired by the unexpected shapes and textures and worked into their monoprints to create animals such as a cat, cats in a snowfall, an owl, and a snake...
...also a landscape, a ship, the sun, and and abstract images:
