Image Transfer Process:

Materials: 
Plastic Glue sticks
Acrylic Matt
Newspaper
Calico/ mix of materials of choice
Photocopies of mood board
scissors
sponges
sink / bucket of water


How to do transfer the image:


Get students to cut out chosen images from the photocopy of the mood board.


Coat the image, face side up, in Acrylic Matt with a plastic glue stick. You need to apply enough Acrylic Matt to the image so that the image can only just still be seen.


Put face down onto the calico and smooth it out with your hands.


Leave to dry for 2 hours.


Repeat this process for as many times as required. Magazine and colour print outs can also be used as an alternative to photocopies.


Leave a lesson available for this process.


How to reveal the image:


Once the print is dry, take a damp sponge and gently begin to rub the top surface of the paper away in a circular motion. The surface paper will start to come away and your images will be revealed.


Once this process has been completed, the image is ready to be used.


Depending on the class size and classroom logistics, this activity should take 20 - 30 mins.
