Sense of it All

Working with tarlatin, glue, gesso, paint on plastic board. Building up instead of digging out. ..

Sat. hanging all around

I really enjoyed all the different people and experiences of the the last few weeks. I am so glad you are all now part of my artistic life. Thank you for sharing with me.

Sixth Sense

Relief sculpture with two prints. The base is one color, minimal print. The top print has six layers. The top print is torn and twisted creating shapes. It is not torn into separate shapes; but it remains one piece. The sixth sense becomes the gestural, spiritual intuition that has remarkable sensual healing. Great lesson for students and introduction to Frank Stella.

sixth sense; all together now

I thought I had printing ink at home but It was just apple green and gold, not what I was looking for but I used it. I used the mylar, cardboard, tape , tacky glue, yupo, newsprint, tarlaton, DW40, blue paint stick, acrylic paint; brick red and burnt umber, a large spoon and the sunday news paper.

I really liked the plate:

but the image was too green. I added the blue paint stick mixed with the DW40 and it was still too bright!

So I did a mono print on top with the red and umber. It gave it some weight and pulled the image together adding the swirl of energy I was trying to show.

I tried the spoon for rubbing but I just didnt have enough power in my hands to push down hard enough to get a good rubbing.

Sixth Sense: ghost

"The Ghost of Mrs. Schmidt" is the title of these prints. First I made some plates from the materials in our packet, string, glue and masking tape. Then I got some printers ink and inked them. I soaked the rives paper in the bathtub and used my car as the press. It was pretty funny! They didn't come out as well as the ones we did in class but I was beginning to get the hang of using my car by the third one. They are not quite straight but I think a few more and I might get it right. It takes a sixth sense to sense a ghost and the story of Mrs. Schmidt made my hair stand up. I'll tell it the next time the group is all together! Note to Andrea: I thought of using a Walmart shopping cart but couldn't get one!

sandra, the sixth sense

Intuition and emotion, that which governs our lives internally and effects every decision in life... My piece uses materials from our packets, masking tape and found object.

Collaboration

Smell and Taste

Touch

Sight

Middle school students will discuss the visual contents of a map and explore the element of art, line. Walking sideways with drawing board with paper; students will create a drawing outside. The line drawing will then be traced onto cardboard. Students will outline their drawings with white glue (Elmers squeeze bottle). They will ink and print from their cardboard plate. Introduce abstract and non-objectional art/artists.
