I am requesting a classroom set of Gelli Arts printmaking supplies for monoprints. They are easy to use and require little technical skill, which makes them perfect for beginning Art students. This gives each student an opportunity to be and feel successful. They are perfect for mixed media art and journaling. A variety of materials are used, from purchased items such as stencils & texture plates to found objects such as bubble wrap, leaves, fabric, netting, placemats; any object that has texture.
Working with texture and monoprinting allows students to work in a way that is based on deep feelings and emotions. Students will be able to express their feelings using the monoprints for either a finished artwork or the background for a journal piece. As part of the assignment, they will be asked to make at least one piece that relates to their experiences during the pandemic. When students are able to use art to explore their feelings about a subject, it helps their overall well-being in a way that goes beyond speech. Sometimes, art allows us to express things that we can't express any other way.
