String-Pulled Monoprint

Explore the idea in “String-Pulled Monoprint” using a few large parts. Your version can look different from the example. Repeat a stamp to make a chosen pattern; leave spaces between impressions.

Study the example for possibilities, then close or cover it. Your work should make different choices.

What to do

  1. Make a print for “String-Pulled Monoprint”. Keep the subject, but invent your arrangement.
  2. Repeat a stamp to make a chosen pattern; leave spaces between impressions.
  3. Touch the stamp to a thin layer of color. Press on paper, then lift straight up.
  4. Try a print on spare paper. Use less color if shapes fill in; press evenly if a part is missing.
  5. Choose where to put another print. Stop when you like the arrangement.
  6. Let the print dry and clean your tools. Point to a mark you chose.
