Frottage day I

Great start with immediate imagery secured through mapping on campus. Innovative 360 degrees approach I am sure to use with my older students. This quick record of rolling scenery gave us fast drawings to take back to the studio to print. The frottage method of monoprinting is simple, straight forward and openended, yeilding seductive drawing lines and scratchy dimension. The soft qualities of the lines leaves the composition with a warm fuzzy feeling.

Wednesday - Sound

The activity with the brass bowls drew me in. I was surprised by how absorbed I became in the sound and the interaction with the bowl. When we did the musical piece I especially appreciated when the sounds of the two bowls would begin to mesh together, that is what inspired my image. Adding color brought very unexpected results. Music is a great way to encourage creativity with students. We always play music in my classroom but I think I will be more intentional about using it in student work.
