Making monoprint Mandalas.

As we have been looking, I thought it would be an appropriate activity for students to continue.

You will need a foam cardboard piece

Circle template

Pencil and pen for tracing.

A knife for cutting (adults to do this)

Aluminium foil

Red, yellow or blue paint (using primary colours)

1 paint brush

Q-tip (ear bud)

9 x 12 white paper

Wipes to clean up.

If you do not have each of the materials listed above you can improvise and use materials readily available at home.

1.Trace and cut your circle making it a little smaller than the paper you want to print on.

2. Wrap your foam circle with aluminium foil, so that one side is completely covered. Wrap the sides of foil over the edges and tape to the back.

3. Make a “handle” from the tape on the back of your foam circle.  So you’ll have something to hang onto while you're painting/printing.

4.  Squirt 2 different colours of paint (about a quarter each) onto the smooth foil surface

5.  Use a Q-tip to create your designs.

6. Place on a piece of white cardboard.

7.  Peel off white cardboard.

8.  Your print is now complete!

Enjoy!

Now make another.
