Printing without Ink
Thompson, James P.
School Arts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v104 n7 p29 Mar 2005
Often we find great ideas around the artroom. One day, the author spotted several pieces of construction paper that had gotten wet near the sink. They had stained the white paper they were lying on. He noticed a design of strong contrast exhibited by the stains. Layers of transparent color had created textural nuances resembling a multicolored rock canyon. He stopped everything and began to purposely play with wet construction paper on white dry paper. He was beginning to make prints without ink. He recalled a statement by Marc Chagall he had heard years earlier: "Originality stems from the Origin." This article provides suggestions, and instructions for using this technique of printing using water, and colored papers. The author points out that if this project were combined with a discussion, some mysterious and creative writings might take place.
