Gelli Plate Monoprint Exploration

Goal::

Create a monoprint using the techniques shown in class

Method::

This project is designed to be experimental---let’s find out what happens when we do printmaking with Gelli Plates! Gather any needed/wanted paper (recommended 50-80lb weight, but don’t be afraid to experiment!) as well as paints, inks and textural objects (I review this in the class and I have provided a supply list in our class resources of where you can find our supplies). Choose any colors you want to play with in your piece. After watching the course demonstrations, try out a variety of our techniques to create your own monoprint masterpiece. Try layering as well! What happens when you take a dried piece and printed again on top of it?

The key to understanding monoprinting is to relax, play and have fun. Share your project and your process with the class. The best way to learn is by sharing and seeing what our awesome community is doing!

I can’t wait to see your creations!
