I let the students choose which printing process they wanted to do. They enjoyed both but I still like the watercolor one. :-) Students used mr. sketch watercolor/washable markers and colored their foam plate. I then carried a squirt bottle and sponge around when they were ready to print. Students squirted 2-3 sprays and sponged the paper... laid the wet side on top of the foam and pressed. They also really enjoyed using the brayers, so it was like the best of both worlds yesterday for them.
Awesome!! These look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the markers! Could you clarify for me? (Looooong day) Did you spray the water on the sponge and then press the sponge the paper?
ReplyDeleteSorry...early morning...
ReplyDeleteI had the students spray the paper and then dap with the sponge...You don't need a lot of water...I just thought it would be easier then wetting the sponge every time.
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's me again!
