Monoprints inspired by Cézanne still life

monoprint cezanne 3C

Students of Grade 9 have created these little monoprints inspired by Cézanne’s still lives, using transparent acetate sheets as a printing plate. First the acetate sheet was overlaid on picture, then the acetate sheet has been colored with felt tip pens, imitating the colors of Cezanne and mixing the colors together. Subsequently, a sheet of paper has been dampened with a sponge, removing out excess water. The monoprinting plate has been printed on the wet sheet, pressing it with the hand, and so the colors are transferred onto the paper. Have a look to this video tutorial, realized during the lesson
