Sound, What I Remember
This is my favorite piece from the week. I love the depth, movement and value of colors.
6th sense, Natalie
TITLE: The 6th Sense, Love.
Natalie Davis
Prior to the two week summer session course, I didn't produce a single piece of art work for 3 months. I'm a high school art teacher and I'm constantly helping my students with their own art work and I find it hard to get away and produce my own work. Not to mention; ALL of my creative juice is sucked out of my body by 3:00pm everyday so the last thing I wanted to do is create art work. The two weeks I spent at UF producing work was extremely therapeutic to me. I feel as if I "got my passion back". I feel more "complete" as a person and as a art educator. I LOVE making art and it is crucial to my existence.
Therefore, my final piece for the course is my interpretation of the 6th sense: LOVE.
Love has many different components to it. I decided to use 4 mini templates and have each mini template describe a feeling that I have experienced from LOVE. (1st image below)The top left plate is: Frustration. Top right plate is: Bliss. Bottom left plate is: Passion and the bottom right plate is: Confusion.
Setting up my 4 color plates to register on top of the black flat.
The end result was created by taking my 4 color plates outside and running over the template with my car.... LOL hey, how else to you create a "at-home printing press".

This is a 11X14 template.
I have used tin foil, tape, gauze, joint compound and plastic.
I used a black flat (with texture) as the initial base

Sense of Sound, Singing Bowls
Singing Bowl (Sound) Monoprint 
Mike, Juliet and Laurie
Kim and NatalieI loved this exercise. What a great way to bring everyone together and to begin a morning's work. I think this would be a great way to integrate a lesson on the arts of Tibet or to bring music into an art lesson. I'm not sure how it would go over with my high school students. It could be very interesting for a group who knew each other well enough. I might need a little more practice before doing an effective demonstration, however. What a treat.
