Maybe you have used scratch foam for printmaking in the art
room. I’ve seen a lot of beautiful art work using scratch foam
and printer’s ink applied with brayers. But did you know scratch
foam prints can look like this? This set of four cupcake prints
were all made from the same scratch foam plate during a single
40-minute class. 3rd graders used watercolor marker and scratch
foam to create multiple prints. We did an easy directed drawing
of a cupcake onto scratch foam, colored the foam with watercolor
markers, and then printed the cards onto damp paper. - Scratch
foam, cut to desired size - sketch paper, cut to same size as
foam - dull pencil - masking tape - watercolor markers in
assorted colors (I use Mr. Sketch markers) - oil pastels or
other embellishments (optional) - shallow tub (dishpan) of water
- beach towel (several if you are teaching multiple or large
classes) - plastic sleeve protectors for printing station -
white construction paper for printing – cut larger than scratch
