Printmaking

Here is a fun way to do printmaking in the classroom to make cards and learn about mixing colors.

Materials:

• Styrofoam squares
• Paint rollers
• Plexiglass squares (to roll the paint out)
• Paint
• Paper 
• Pencil

1) Etch an image into your styrofoam square using your pencil. Remember that your image will appear backwards!
2) Put 2-3 colors on your plexiglass and use the roller to mix the colors as much or as little as your would like.
3) Roll color on to the side of your styrofoam square.
4) Press the styrofoam like a stamp on to your piece of paper.
