Update: Monoprint Masks

For the last several years, I've done this monoprinting project with students in 3rd grade. 
This year, I decided to use only black paint (instead of the rainbow of paints.)

 We haven't cut them yet, but I LOVE the black and white contrast!
Here's a few after they've been colored w/ oil pastels, colored pencil, or marker!

Collograph printing

Students learned a printing technique called collograph, taking things and adhering them to a board, making a collage.

Students used a variety of materials: cardboard, yarn, burlap, rubber bands, buttons, and more!  After the plates were dry, students painted them, and made a few prints.
