Use
small paper cups.
Fill
approx. 1/3 full of paste.
Stir
in a small amount of colorant.
Wet
white drawing paper by dipping the entire sheet into a low container filled with
water.
Lay
the wet paper onto table surface.
Apply
small amounts of paint mixture(s) to the surface of the wet
paper.
Move
the mixture around with printing brayers, create textures by using sponges, hair
combs/picks, found objects, etc. At this point it is similar to gadget
printing.
Cover/decorate the entire surface.
Pick
up completed sheet and lay on newspaper.
Place
wet papers on drying rack, or lay in hall until dry enough to collect or hang on
clothesline in classroom.
Allow
to dry then cut and use as desired.
Paste
Paper
is
created using acrylic paint or similar pigments mixed in a suspension of
paste. The paste can be a recipe made cooked paste (below), or can be a
paste mixed from a cellulose based dry mix (such as Pritt Art Paste or similar
sold in art supply catalogs). I have used both with equal success.
The cellulose paste keeps longer in its pure paste form, and can be mixed in the
classroom using cold water with
no
cooking required.
