Click through the slideshow and follow the directions to make your abstract print.
Find objects to print.
Find a variety of objects that you can use for printing. Bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard, paper towels, fabric, egg cartons, and even marshmallows would make interesting prints. Make sure you ask an adult before using an object!
Dip the object in paint.
Choose one object to work with at a time and dip it in your paint. Try to cover the whole printing surface with paint, but don’t get big globs of paint on the object.
Print!
Press your object onto your paper firmly. Make sure you are stamping and lifting your object. This is printing, not painting! Keep printing with different objects and colors until you are happy with your artwork! Have fun with this activity and pay attention to the different textures your objects create!
What kinds of textures does your artwork have? Try to describe some of the textures you see to your Learning Coach. Show your artwork to someone who didn’t see you make it. Ask that person to guess which objects you used. Could they identify the object based on its texture? Send a picture of your finished print to your teacher.
