Foam Printing Mixed Media Collage – Printmaking Art Lesson


Description

In this video we work with printing foam to create a sea themed collage. By drawing into the foam with a blunt pencil we are able to create a surface to print from including patterns and small details.

We also create a background by using torn tissue paper which adds texture to the work. Using acrylic paint we roll this on to our foam and press cartridge paper over the top to create multiple prints.

Our final step is to cut out our prints and use foam tape to adhere them to our tissue paper background. Using the foam tape adds dimension to the work creating an subtle 3D effect.
