Printmaking For Grade One

First you start drawing a design into a styrofoam plate. Be sure to trim off the rim so it is flat and make sure the gtooves are deep.
Second you spread out water soluble printing ink onto plexiglass with a rubber brayer. Then roll the ink evenly onto the styrofoam plate. Be careful to not put too little or too much.



Third, make sure your hands are clean, placing the inked plate on a clean spot and spread a tissue paper over top. Rub it gently with the palm of your hand from the center of the plate out to the edges. Fourth, pull back the paper carefully and voila there is your image!
