These students move from one color to another in order to ink their foam
blocks.

Our third grade students just love the physical work of inking their foam
blocks. They listen for the "crispy" sound that tells them that they have just
enough ink on their brayers. Printmaking is the art of second chances and
these students make multiple prints to find out how much ink is right for the
look they are trying for.

We use some flourescent colors for inking the foam blocks.

soluable ink.
