Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: May need guidance when transferring their drawing onto the inked surface. They should be wary of not pressing their hand onto the laminate sheet as they draw during the printing process.It may help to leave the video running as a reminder of the steps in the monoprinting process. 

Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged to create more detail from their drawings experimenting with varying pressure to create a greater range of marks within their print.
