easy, just follow along
Materials: paperboard, glue, brushes, black and white acrylic paint, paper, odds and ends from your house
Directions: I am showing two examples in the photos
for this project
l. Draw some shapes (house, cat, moon, tree) on a board a little thicker then paper and cut them out. Then glue them onto paperboard however you like.
Give the paperboard a coat of white paint.
Let this dry. This seals it.

Paint over the board with black paint, you only have to
paint the parts that you glued on (you will see why)
Its best to work quickly here so paint doesn't dry
Place paper over painted board and press firmly with
your hands to print the paper
Voila! You have your collagraph!

2. For the other one I used various fabrics and fun things I had..elastic,lace, textural fabric, cut paper, thread, rubber bands, string, yarn and more
Try things you already have. Make sure you glue them down well and let glue dry.

Tips: You can make several prints from one board..just
make sure you have the right amount of paint so it
doesnt stick to board..
