Get ready to roll, press, and print your way into the world of Claude Monet! In this hands-on project, students will learn the magical technique of gelli printing to create dreamy Impressionist-inspired landscapes. We’ll explore two exciting approaches: building a torn-paper horizon and using real nature items—like seashells, flowers, leaves, and rocks—as textured tools. Each print becomes a one-of-a-kind masterpiece full of color, movement, and Monet-style magic!
