hi i'm molly and welcome to art class today we are going to be experimenting
with printmaking by using just a few items we can find around the house let's go
for this project you will need cylinder-shaped items such as an empty paper towel roll an empty
potato chip can or a rolling pin you will also need bubble wrap foam sheets or shapes
any other textured items you can find such as textured stickers or textured sticker sheets
you will also need liquid glue masking tape plain paper temper paints plastic wrap
different kinds of paint brushes and a tray for your paint let's go hi i'm molly i'm olivia and
now that you've gathered the materials let's get started right now we are going to make
three print making tools from just items that we can find around your house or at the dollar store
and we're going to make as many print making materials as we can
so that we can make as many different kinds of prints as possible so olivia's going to
demonstrate to you she is using a paper towel roll and we found their little foam shapes
at the dollar store and she's going to glue these on her roller so why don't you go ahead
livvy
okay now that she did that we're gonna get some plastic wrap which is something you would find at
the grocery store or in your kitchen and we're gonna wrap it around this so that these things
stick and later we'll lift this off after they've dried good job all right let's set that aside
cool okay that's our first print making tool and now we're gonna just take this is a
potato chip can i put some brown paper around it some craft paper but it's just a potato chip can
and then livi has cut out just a little piece of bubble wrap and we have the puffy side up
and she's going to make a print by placing this on the top and taping around it so then when
we turn it over and put it in some paint we can stamp like that and do some print making that way
so that is our second print making tool so like i said when you dip it in some paint you
can just stamp that texture that bubbly texture down on a piece of paper and see what happens
okay now it's time for our third print making tool and this is just a different idea that we came up
with and you might come up with some other ideas but we found this really cool textured sheet of
these um plastic kind of diamond like things at the dollar store and it has a sticky back
and so maybe you found a different texture you can even take string and wrap it around like a rolling
pin that you find in the kitchen but we are going to actually wrap this rolling pin in this plastic
diamond sheet because it has such great texture on it if you can't find something for a third
print making tool that's okay but we're just experimenting with different textures
so livvy is putting that on there thank you livvy
good job okay so now we've made three printmaking tools okay and we're we're
going to show you how these are going to be used to create some really fun prints
okay now that our printmaking tools are ready olivia's going to demonstrate to you how you
can make three different kinds of prints using your three different kinds of print making tools
right now we have some temper paints that are over here and she has two different ways to
apply those paints she has a brayer i want to grab the brayer over there show them that
you can use a foam brayer if you don't have um a normal rubber brayer and she has a paintbrush and
you can also use a foam paint brush and so she's going to start showing you how to do some print
making using your homemade tools okay olivia which one are you gonna do first the bubble wrap okay
so you can see how you can use homemade tools to create different textures in different colors
in different arrangements on a piece of paper so we hope you enjoyed us
keep creating keep making art and see you next time
