I am so excited about the demo I did for students today using Gelli Arts Printing Plates. As I have been writing for the past few weeks, students are working on the concept of Objects, Artifacts, and Things we leave behind. Students really dug into this project, but some had a hard time devising two images in the time allotted.
Since we only have until Tuesday to get it all done, I started experimenting with my Gelli Arts plate and getting a variety of effects based on the objects I layered on it. I have decided my favorite is string, with the VCR tape as a close second. I introduced these methods to the kids (and how adding additional lines through sharpie can enhance the image or make people see something within the printed shapes) and everyone took off with it.

Students also worked with some other materials as they finish up this project theme.
