Art: Patterns & Printmaking


The materials for this project are right in your own home: food coloring and papertowels.  The girls folded a paper towel 3x the "hotdog way" making a narrow rectangle.  Then, they "flip-flop folded" it into a small rectangular nugget.  Next, they dipped the paper towel into red, yellow, or blue food coloring (diluted with water) just until the color ran towards their fingers.  The paper towels stay folded for a bit between newspaper.  Their patterns will be revealed next class when they will add another layer of pattern with printmaking techniques.
