Adaptive Art-Coffee Filter Worlds

For this project, I wanted to do a basic mono print with my students. To start, we read the book titled, In My World. After reading the book, each student received a coffee filter and blue and green markers. Any shades of blue and green will work as long as the markers are washable. Students hen scribbled on the coffee filter using the markers. I wanted them to color as much of the coffee filter as they could. After they finished coloring, we placed the coffee filter on a 18 x 12" paper and squirted it with water. The ink from the marker will begin to soak through the coffee filter and make a print on the paper. To speed up the process, we placed a 9 x 12" paper on top of the coffee filter and rubbed. Here is the finished product.
