PROJECT: In this mono-printing class, students will use a Gelli plate, a flexible printing plate made of silicone, which is a fun and creative way to explore mixed-media art.   As students experiment with different tools and techniques, they will discover how to create a wide range of textures, patterns, and effects on their prints. They may also choose to incorporate additional mixed media elements, such as collage materials or drawings, into their prints to further enhance their compositions. Throughout the class, Ms. Sharp will provide guidance and demonstrations to help students develop their skills and techniques. Students will have the opportunity to create multiple prints, allowing them to experiment and explore different approaches. Overall, a mono-printing art class using a Gelli plate is a great way for students to discover the endless possibilities of mixed media art and unleash their creativity.

All supplies included in the fee.
