Carbon copy paper is a great material for making simple prints with children, and it was perfect for this session on monoprinting, in which I encouraged the children to look carefully at their subject matter and make thoughtful marks in response. Children loved the element of surprise as they peeled away their carbon paper to reveal their print – and they loved even more working back into their print to create layers of texture. The addition of oil pastel enabled children to experiment with colour and mass as well as line.
