Printmaking: Lion!

At the West Lafayette Public Library we learned about the printmaking process and made exciting, vividly colored lions!  The kids learned the basic principals of layering color in reverse, using a limited palette, transferring an image onto another surface and basic print reproduction techniques. We used foam, Speedball ink, and printed our image on colored paper. Complimentary and analogous color schemeswere chosen and arranged by the students on the paper they selected. 
The foam print can be reused over and over on fun items such as gift bags.
