Found Object Printing

For this image, my students use watercolor to wash over the background then black paint for the printing.

I love using found objects for printing. My students enjoy it also. Sometimes we start by painting a background.

Found Objects such as cardboard tubes, lids, kitchen utensils, spools, legos, cardboard strips, bubble wrap, blocks, plastic forks, cotton swabs, combs-the only limit is your imagination. You also need tempera paint and paper

Depending on the objective of the lesson, students can create patterns or images.

For backgrounds: you can use white or colored paper or students can paint the paper with a watercolor wash or use pieces of colored tissue paper to cover the background.
