Bubble Prints
Recently my kids and I engaged in a lovely process art experience to make bubble prints. When I say that making bubble prints is a process art experience, I mean that the value of the experience was in the opportunity to explore the materials and techniques. With process art, there is no one right way to create; instead, engaging in process art ... Continue Reading
