1st Graders Make Monoprints inspired by Helen Frankenthaler

The 1st graders created monoprints after studying Helen Frankenthaler. We used watercolor paints to make a colorful image on the table. After checking to make sure every color was good and wet, we took a piece of watercolor paper and pushed it down on the paint. All of the paint soaked up into the paper in a very interesting way. The students really enjoyed seeing the "magic" involved in this kind of printmaking.
