Making Gadget Prints
Gather small items with different
shapes that might be dipped into paint to
make a gadget print Some possibilities
are paper clips.erasers, clothespins,
spools, cork, and buttons. Be as imagi-
native as you can Brush tempera paint
on each gadget, and press the gadget
firmly on a sheet of white paper. Ex-
change gadgets with your classmates.
(See Figure 3-11 )
Once the paint has dried, select one of
the gadgets, and place it underneath the
paper near a printed image of the same
gadget. Make a crayon rubbing of the
gadget. (See Technique Tip 25 . Hand-
book 280.) Discuss your work with your
classmates. Do the rubbings look like the
prints? Why or why not?
