Today you get two Chocolate Muffin ideas for the price of one!!! I have a post today featured on Moms by heart that is part of their Summer Staycation Series of activities to do with kids! My post featured on Moms by heart is titled Salty Watercolor and Glue Paintings. My post on the blog today is about Glue today too! We made Glue Prints!
For this project you'll need:
White Glue
Matte board or scrap cardboard
tempera paint
paint brush
paper
To begin you need to get some thick cardboard. We used some scrap matte board which you can easily get a frame shop. You could use cardboard from cereal or pizza boxes too! Now grab some white glue and draw with the glue to create a picture. Cassie did about three glue drawings of people.
Here is one of Cassie's finished glue drawings! I just adore it! ***Now--- you need to let the glue drawing dry for at least over night. Thicker area may take longer!***
After the glue drawing is dry, you will need to paint over the glue drawing with tempera paint. You could use a roller, but we chose to try it tis way. A roller works better with thicker paint like acrylic or printmaking ink.
Once we covered the cardboard and glue, I carefully took a paper and put it on top of the painted glue drawing. Then Cassie used her hands to rub all over the paper so that the paint would print.
Carefully peel back the paper and you have a print! This print was a little light, but the whole idea of printmaking is to print many times and experiment---so that is what we did!
The next print was done in blue. A little darker!
Next time we used both magenta and blue to create purple.
I liked this print because not only did the colors mix to make purple, but also you could still see other layers of the separate colors. It gave it more dimension!
We printed a bunch as yo can see! It was fun to see how they came out so differently!
Have Fun! Experimenting is the key to successful prints!

ReplyDeleteAnother awesome idea. I love this blog!!!
ReplyDeleteAww that is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat is impressive! Very nice! :) I may try this with Henry - making some of my own drawings for him to print, but also letting him 'draw' (okay, squirt) with the glue. It looks so cool!
ReplyDeletelove love the prints! wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteHow creative. . .those would make great thank you cards. (and my kids just happen to be working on thank you cards!)
ReplyDeleteThis is really wonderful! The prints have come out so nice and colourful. Have to try!

What a fun project! I love the process, and the prints look wonderful too. Loved your salty gluey activity as well.

ReplyDeleteLove these glue prints!! Each of them look wonderful !!
ReplyDeleteWe just did some glue rubbings, so have the dried glue designs ready for us to try this:-)
Your salt paintings look beautiful too.
such a fun idea! This is definitely something I will try with my girls.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR SAVING MY SANITY ON A RAINY DAY!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteIm your new follower!
Loved this Glue Art!
Do visit my blog too at http://aliascreativelife.blogspot.com/
Awesome idea, I love the final print effect, it's frameable!
ReplyDeleteWell, now that is very clever and very fun! Can't wait to try it. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful - thank you for sharing it on Link&Learn this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! My son loves to "glue" but he never wants to stick anything on top of his glue. This could be a fun thing to do with all of those pages he just wants to fill up with glue.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! This is a great one to do alongside other printing activities so could be done across the school! Great to have it on the Resource Centre! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!
ReplyDeleteI loved teaching my students about printmaking when I taught art! Great post- I love it! Thanks again for sharing ;-)

ReplyDeleteAwesome idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
We love art projects and have not done many of them that we can share lately so will have to give this a try. Little Bro loves using glue so he will be into this.
Have a nice week!

Oooh, brilliant. We're going to have to do this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea and stunning results, well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. What I love about doing this is I can do it as a past time with my children.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I've never used dried glue for anything really. Can't wait to try this idea!
ReplyDeleteThey look great. How did you clean the plate between colours?
ReplyDeleteawesome. what kind of glue did you use? Elmers school glue or glue all?
ReplyDeleteGlue all works the best.
