This is from a post by Ken:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I do collagraphs using a Kimono as a design guide. Take the shape of the
Kimono and divide it into shapes, such as the collar, body, sleeves, belt,
etc and have them use collagraph techniques to fill in the areas. I build
up
on thin chipboard using sandpaper, doilies, string, tinfoil, gesso with a
comb (to create lines), thin boards cut up, glue swirled. Use removable
tape
to keep the gesso in areas for definition. Let dry and cover with thin coat
of gesso (let dry) and then a coat of white glue and water, (let dry) spray
with crystal clear and make prints. Color pencil, lightly into them for a
neat affect.

Might be able to adapt it down to elementary level. Maybe us Elmer's glue
for lines and tagboard for shapes (easier to cut). This would definitely be
safer than lino cutting.
Thank you Patty!

P.S. Yes folks I found it only by entering the word kimono.
