If you’ve got blank sheets of overheadpaper you can put a photo underneath a sheet and draw the countors with a permanent pen. The result is really funny. With a colored peice of paper behind, you’ve got a peice of art.

I wonder if they could be passed on to the art department of a school to be used for mono-printing?

You would tape an OHP sheet down (printed side to the table) and roll some ink on it. Then put down a blank sheet of paper, lay a drawing on top and go over the lines again with a pencil to produce a mirror image on the blank paper. You can play around with different drawing tools, too.

We used new acetate off a roll in the art class I attend, but I think an OHP sheet would work just as well — the idea is to get a smooth surface that will take the printing ink and can then be thrown away at the end of class.

I can’t remember where I found this, but you can use laser transparencies in an inkjet printer and then while they are still wet, apply it face down onto watercolour paper and rub it or use a roller to make a rubber stamp effect. You can also use them for stenciling.

Try adding holes with a three-hole punch, then using them as section dividers in a three-ring binder.

similar to the art class suggestion. we used a lot of these in my black and white photography classes. if you know anywhere with a darkroom they may be able to make use of them. they can be used to lay over photos which creates a great effect of the writing covering a picture. or they can be cut small and used as negatives to teach the basics of photography and how to use the darkroom and photo sensitive paper etc

To reuse the transparencies in an art project, wipe them clean with alcohol, draw with markers on separate pieces a 1) background 2)some trees or other objects in middle ground 3) in foreground place people, animals, flowers whatever. Layer these over one another and you will have the illusion of depth, sort of like cartoon cells. Sandwich them between two matching cardboard frames and hang on wall…or in window. Could be kind of cool if you include some of the printed ones as background. Would make a fun and changeable work of art if you made a whole pane of them.
Kids love to do this…it’ll keep them busy for hours.

Hmmm, try cutting them up into strips, punch holes in the tops and wire together a bunch - apply some gentle heat like from a hairdryer or a heat gun (from a distance, the heat gun will work very fast) You should end up with some very cool curly pieces which could be hung on Christmas trees, off a chandelier or make a line of ‘icicles’.

They are great for stenciling on walls. Just wipe them clean, then write/draw a shape, cut it out and then tape them to the wall to paint over. They are reusable over and over again, and you don’t have to pay for the same thing, but at an inflated price, that is sold at the paint shop.

Make curtains! That’s what my teacher did.

use it as a book jacket their pretty durable
