CITYSCAPES
What is a cityscape?
Let’s look at some pictures of cityscapes.
We are going to make a
monoprint of a CITYSCAPE!
What is a MONOPRINT?
A design is drawn in ink or paint on any smooth surface. While the ink or
paint is still wet, a piece of paper is laid on top of it (or folded over it) and you press it with your hands. This makes it have a ONE OF A KIND PRINT.
Here is an example of a sailboat monoprint.
Do you see how the monoprint created a reflection made by the copy it created when it was folded in half?
We are going to do this except for we are making a CITYSCAPE.
Step 1: Fold your paper in half. Step 2: Draw a horizon line. Step 3: Draw the skyline of buildings
using your ruler! Step 4: Paint the outline of the buildings
and the horizon. Step 5: Fold the paper in half and press
the paper together to get a PRINT. Step 6: Open your paper and reveal
your picture!
After we do that, we will NEXT time do the following:
Use oil pastels to color in the buildings.
Use watercolors to color in the water.
Let’s get started!
