BLACKOUT POETRY

ABSTRACT COLORFUL COASTERS

Sharpie markers + 91% isopropyl alcohol on porcelain tile = a really unique technique that looks like watercolor (but 100% isn't). Students had a wonderful time with this project!

Inspired by techniques that illustrators use, students created colorful clusters of flowers with watercolor paint and black ink.
