Cassatt Monoprints

When Impressionist painter Mary Stevenson Cassatt was born in 1844 in Allegheny City (now part of Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, women weren’t encouraged to pursue careers in art. Being an artist was a man’s job. Luckily, Cassatt knew she was talented and was determined to follow her dream.

ART KIDBIT: MARY CASSATT

Cassatt's favorite subject to paint was women and children. She loved to paint families doing everyday things together.

Directions:

  1. Paint a picture directly on the cookie sheet. Work fast so the paint does not dry!
  2. Scratch lines into your painting with the pencil or small stick.
  3. Place a piece of paper on top of the wet paint and pat it gently. Try not to wiggle the paper.
  4. Starting in one corner, gently lift the paper off the paint. When it is dry, your monoprint masterpiece is complete!
  5. If you would like to make another print, wipe the paint off the cookie sheet with the paper towels and start again.
