Art 1 2/21/13 Scribbling as a Technique

Scribbling as a Technique
Spectrum art 1 Lesson 2/21/13

Warm-ups
1. Circles, 2. Lighting bolts, 3. Ocean waves. 4. Repeated figure "8" patterns.

The scribbling technique is loose and free this gives the artist opportunity to discover elements to put in a picture. Like free association in writing, it is ideal to overcome "Writer's Block,"  for an artist who has a difficult time to create a design or composition.

Using the Scribbling Technique we will draw an Iris Flower in bloom.

If time allows students will practice the technique to come up with their own designs.

Art 2 How to do Easy Printmaking

Art 2 Print Making
2/07/13

We used Styrofoam plates to make a relief print. We drew a picture on plate and cut around it and taped the picture to a piece of cardboard and and then print the picture.

Ideas for subjects:
Cat, clown fish, rose, flower, face, name or word, dog, train engine or caboose, any animal.

Valentines day hearts. red ink on heart. a second design with black over the red.

Below is an example of using Styrofoam to make a raised relief print.

First a cat or panther face was drawn onto the Styrofoam, it was then cut out using a craft knife, and using double stick tape attached to a piece of cardboard, in this case it was the cardboard from a cereal box.

The detail of the eyes were inscribed using a pencil.

When inked with a brayer the ink remains on the raised surfaces.

When paper pressed onto it leaves the image of the panther.

Printmaking Using Foam Plates

Below is an example of the results. I chose to only make three prints but an artist could make many prints.
