<a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1057366994"></span><span id="goog_1057366995"></span>Working with students at all levels of ability makes life fun and interesting. Sometimes, it makes things a little tricky as well. Like teaching Photoshop. But this year I am determined to change this by creating a series of tutorials for my students to use.<br />
<br />
I am fully aware that my videos are lame. However, if they can help my students learn how to use Photoshop, then being the creator of sad videos is worth it.<br />
<br />
Yes, I am sure that there are some fantastic videos out there that I could purchase.. the problem is that they are not created for what I need!<br />
<br />
So far I have 19 videos made and they are working. While I still have to answer some basic questions about Photoshop every.single.time, the productivity level of my students has skyrocketed.<br />
<br />
Feel free to use my tutorials to learn photoshop.. and if you have something specific you would like to learn how to do.. send me an email! emilymclemore@yahoo.com and I'll make a video for you!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favorite Art 1 projects is the Radial Design Color Wheel. I tweak it every year, but I have to say starting the year with a project that requires the students to completely cover their hard work with a layer of black paint and to trust the process is a pretty good primer for the rest of the year!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first step is to draw a circle and divide it into 12 parts. I have little compasses for the students to use. This is an eye-opening adventure in and of itself!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you aren't sure how to get students to divide their circle into 12 equal parts, start with dividing the circle in half. Then using the dot that was made to create the circle, line up a protractor and mark around the circle at the 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150. Next rotate the circle and mark the other half. Use a straight edge to join the marks across the circle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next design ONE wedge of the circle. I require my students to have their pattern touch the sides in at least 3 places. This helps when trying to line up the pattern later.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some students will create an incredibly ornate and intricate pattern. Try to get them NOT to do that!!! If they are determined to create a pattern with tiny details, explain to them that they will have to use an alternate media to create their product, and while that is fine, it will be much harder...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the pattern is created, have the students use a piece of tracing paper and copy the pattern.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My students then are given a piece of carbon paper. I have a few boxes of leftover typewriter carbon paper and I call this "magic paper" as students have never seen it and think it is super cool. I save this for projects like this because the traditional coloring on the backside of the tracing paper doesn't work as we use BOTH sides of the transfer paper!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The key to a successful transfer pattern is that you have to flip the design back and forth with each wedge. This allows the pattern to mirror itself and it looks better than one that is not.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FYI, yes I do have some students create their own pattern completely without tracing, but since this is the first project Art 1, I try to keep it relatively stress free. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the circle is complete, I have students write down the colors of the wheel above each wedge. While I have sample color wheels for students to look at, there are ALWAYS some that get the order wrong. Having them write them down first is a good preventative step.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then it is time to color. My go to media for this project is oil pastels. Oil pastels are easy to use, forgiving and inexpensive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, if students have created too detailed of a project, they have to use colored pencils instead. With colored pencils, students have to put down 7 or 8 layers of color to build up enough wax for the resist.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wheel below has some sections that are black. This was done to cover an accident where the student (my youngest daughter who was helping me make the sample) colored the wrong section and we had to cover it in black. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using the black oil pastel is a choice. You can look at my finished sample to see if you want to have your students use black or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have mine use black.. unless they have superfine details that they want to add or they have to cover a mistake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm always looking for a good beginning of the year project to do with my art 2 students. I want the students to walk in the door and get started working pretty much day 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, after all of these years teaching, I think I have finally found my GO TO project! Woohoo! (Well, I say a go to project, but then I end up changing my projects every year.. but this one may be a keeper anyway!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 1: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blind Contour object drawings with sharpie on watercolor paper. I had the students work on 15x22 student grade watercolor paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each student had to draw four different drawings on three different papers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a sample of a first drawing. Students were allowed to draw any object that they observed from around the classroom.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtTyECp25zytkDRLrrqQkDXTHisUqfhz9vEO2iIw4vpRWTMwk5yTMzmlicq1ItIkLsmhHdJvmOspXgqS1MB9TzFyKx2B-LYBzAJEvcJOvU8rhT8GWfwN4wA2RfqU5reX4vg4G95eF643y/s1600/IMG_6917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtTyECp25zytkDRLrrqQkDXTHisUqfhz9vEO2iIw4vpRWTMwk5yTMzmlicq1ItIkLsmhHdJvmOspXgqS1MB9TzFyKx2B-LYBzAJEvcJOvU8rhT8GWfwN4wA2RfqU5reX4vg4G95eF643y/s320/IMG_6917.JPG" width="240" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see below, I had the students rotate the paper a quarter turn for their second drawing. This creates a nice set overlapping of lines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the third drawing they rotated the paper again. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VWIA5M98CMIAMK6vmSWVIynoGFYckYEbktayHNJRERMibdwNyFwov2SEUufdiW5xgMJmqOCy-J3wi-EQ34D6JIFnRE1XyAXU4Ix0910EOpWAlh-T1dQYdld0ismLAxsWpdifz3oyCR9u/s1600/IMG_6921.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VWIA5M98CMIAMK6vmSWVIynoGFYckYEbktayHNJRERMibdwNyFwov2SEUufdiW5xgMJmqOCy-J3wi-EQ34D6JIFnRE1XyAXU4Ix0910EOpWAlh-T1dQYdld0ismLAxsWpdifz3oyCR9u/s320/IMG_6921.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And again for the fourth drawing.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a sample of one of the first pages. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is important to remember and to explain to students that each blind contour drawing sheet should in theory get better. While I didn't limit the time spent on the blind drawings, I didn't ask the students to linger over the drawings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These 12 drawings were a GREAT first assignment! There is something so freeing about a blind contour drawing. No judgement at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next day, I had students choose their "worst" page of drawings to work with first. This allows students to figure out the media without "ruining" their best work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This process is FUN!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All you need are liquid watercolors, some pipettes and a couple of spray bottles. (and lots of cleaning time!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are my students at work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I asked students to work with the paper dry and wet, to run the watercolor down the paper, to spritz it, drop it... and anything else they could think of to "paint" the paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most students "painted" two of their pieces during one class period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my sample piece.</span><br />

Wow. I am a total loser! I can't believe I have gone almost an entire school year without posting!<br />
<br />
I feel so bad.<br />
<br />
but, I haven't really gone that long, I've been posting to facebook and instagram instead.<br />
<br />
Oops!<br />
<br />
I wonder if I can make a live a feed from facebook or instagram post directly to this site?<br />
<br />
I'll have to look into it!<br />
<br />
For now...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Art 2 students created a zentangle inspired patio umbrella project. It was a project created and oversaw by my student teacher while she was here. It was a nice idea, but it had issues. The main issue was that it took way, way longer than the time we had allotted so the student teacher didn't get to see the project finished. That was a bummer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Overall, I'd say that this won't be a repeat project. The students enjoyed working on it, but it wasn't worth the expense or the mess. I think if we had been able to purchase denim or duckcloth and use bleach pens like we had originally wanted, the project would have been super cool. But we had to purchase the more inexpensive polyester umbrellas (that's all Walmart had..) and then use slick fabric paint. The fabric paint bled throught the fabric and stained my floor in lots and lots of places even though we put down poster board between the fabric and the floor. We also used a ton of paint.. and we still ran out.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I've been having fun with my advanced students teaching them how to paint with a palette knife. Then this past weekend at the State VASE contest, I had an opportunity to teach 80 of the best art students in the state how to paint with a kitchen spatula!! It was a blast.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of the samples I made.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As we get to spring break, I'm trying to clean up my room, my files and get students to finish up artwork!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Part of this clean up is updating my website, my artsonia site and just general publicity stuff for the kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Animoto gives me a chance to make 30 second videos for free, so here are some of the self portraits that students have completed recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">[Click on <a href="http://animoto.com/play/G5hW9b77LcEQl0lJ13OH4Q"><span style="font-size: large;">Art 2 Self Portraits</span></a> to see the video..]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can only include like 12 pictures in the video, so these videos are just representative works. It hard, I'd like to include everyone's work, but I don't want to pay for the animoto membership!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to see more of the work, make sure to check out my </span><a href="http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=91585" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">artsonia site!</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Art 1 students have been drawing and painting a still life for what seems like weeks! The process has been rather involved, but well worth the efforts. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a couple of pictures of the still life set ups. I placed 9 arrangements of different objects around the classroom. Thankfully I have a large room!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Students were required to draw each of the 9 arrangements 3 times on a quarter size piece of paper. Yes, that was 27 drawings!!! As you can imagine, they appreciated this assignment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the 27 were done, the students then chose one they enjoyed drawing the most and drew it on a larger paper. This was a separate grade.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCY7Yj0ZmzzAjEWBd5qlN3GYdh48PtChxqp7Zd8zg2xIMjdSt-AfxlTDsCohQCQtIBxRXkPnG-mlXlU8JZSz4n_om0In0j2ssd6FhjAFZJpPzNjFItsS32IRNdfilYgn0eBU4N1EZTCPlA/s640/blogger-image--1069164975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCY7Yj0ZmzzAjEWBd5qlN3GYdh48PtChxqp7Zd8zg2xIMjdSt-AfxlTDsCohQCQtIBxRXkPnG-mlXlU8JZSz4n_om0In0j2ssd6FhjAFZJpPzNjFItsS32IRNdfilYgn0eBU4N1EZTCPlA/s640/blogger-image--1069164975.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I gave out 12x12 chipboard and the students had to draw their still life on the board, completely filling the board.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my sample that I drew.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXoUwwLRRw-6eiCnfLUsaVahdtjrETx_CoAcgt36wTIXtnUD_lQ3mVOaF1HJdoCl5KPMeIKCCA3JV6AA41pFLsJNcK8VDCMH8zZQWo3QBuzvyr8eCb2PUFMklllRqNAzd_53yhdQXPniX/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXoUwwLRRw-6eiCnfLUsaVahdtjrETx_CoAcgt36wTIXtnUD_lQ3mVOaF1HJdoCl5KPMeIKCCA3JV6AA41pFLsJNcK8VDCMH8zZQWo3QBuzvyr8eCb2PUFMklllRqNAzd_53yhdQXPniX/s1600/026.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, because we were using chipboard and it would warp, I had the students paint the backside a solid color.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6ZX6n976r4wjS9LTmZIE_p8PjVmgKBxV0qZEdYWdxeNmGjDChg-93Tn4vrsIoudwm7uvO1ltpO_dwPmvb1WEUYlfy71mvMB17Cf0NF-rJh4_w0SFJMKVsvSnHp7qE1_Tns9CK8GT9n92/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6ZX6n976r4wjS9LTmZIE_p8PjVmgKBxV0qZEdYWdxeNmGjDChg-93Tn4vrsIoudwm7uvO1ltpO_dwPmvb1WEUYlfy71mvMB17Cf0NF-rJh4_w0SFJMKVsvSnHp7qE1_Tns9CK8GT9n92/s1600/027.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And finally the fun part! Students had to paint their "canvas" in grey scale. This base makes students focus on composition errors and highlights and shadows. </span><br />

Tested Tips for Teachers!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I've come to realize that some of the things that come naturally to me as an art teacher are not necessarily things that other art teachers are good at. So, I'm going to start sharing a few tips. (Then I won't feel so bad when I steal art technique tips from other teachers!)<br />
<br />
So today I'm going to share how I get ready to start clay for the first time in Art 1.<br />
<br />
First, get out the OLDEST bags of clay first. I am using Low Fire White clay. I have 3 bags that I need to stretch out between 3 Art 1 classes. Two bags are pretty hard. One bag is nice and soft. I will force the students to use the two hard slabs first. How you say.. easy. :)<br />
<br />
Take the heavy block of clay out of the bag. (Yes I am working on the floor. It's easier for me to work on the floor and I've come to realize that it doesn't really matter if the clay is absolutely "clean" when I give it to students, it's not going to be "clean" when they are finished. It WILL have random bits of junk/hair/trash in it no matter what I say or do.)<br />

Here is my block of clay. I do at least set it on it's plastic bag.<br />

Lay 1/2 down and stand the other 1/2 on the clay base. Cut it in 1/2 as well.<br />

Now take EACH wedge and place it into a plastic bag that zips closed. Brand doesn't matter. I use LOTS of ziploc bags. I make the quart size bags a supply item that kids have to provide. DON'T CLOSE THE BAG YET!!!</div>

6. Now take the bags over to the sink and if the clay is already leather hard, place a few drops of water in each bag and close up the bag.</div>

7. Place the OLDEST clay at the BOTTOM of the bucket. Place the BEST clay somewhere else until the old clay is used. (Notice the best clay is sitting on my counter inside gallon storage bags.. I'll pull these out at the end of the day for my last class. This is two-fold.. it forces the students to use the old clay first and it makes sure that every once in a while the last class of the day gets the best supply!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Side note here... the students ALWAYS dig to the bottom of the bucket thinking that they are going to get the best of something...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Prepare your supplies for your table stations I use the lids that come with small storage tubs for "plates" for my tables. I have one set on my front counter as an example of how I expect the students to place their supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNY_-2f5Xw8Rc5pmioWh7q59iRCETUlGzx2N3_tM7PPtLhxLeD9F6j6dnnxrnT8-Jbs9VLaov8L2jukAheUlv48HlOam9Fh2CDyIsBkG6dypty1OPWqvNppGlGYQGqonmljg-RYfc-sZ5A/s640/blogger-image--1379321237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNY_-2f5Xw8Rc5pmioWh7q59iRCETUlGzx2N3_tM7PPtLhxLeD9F6j6dnnxrnT8-Jbs9VLaov8L2jukAheUlv48HlOam9Fh2CDyIsBkG6dypty1OPWqvNppGlGYQGqonmljg-RYfc-sZ5A/s640/blogger-image--1379321237.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Notice the supplies on my front small table. I have EXACTLY the number of sharp instruments that we need for the tables. I only allow ONE of each tool per table. Students just have to share. I can keep up with seven of each of the tools, but I can't keep up with 25 of each!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGqtgrfFXPr5hyVLH1hzWVlKajPqzBHddH06mArR-jxRiWRqG_Miq0YNanO0CymRQFU_DcYFGZNoNnLBtuhHQF-w-WOYPBdwuUB2knSyQDsSxYFOEFFgzzXR6U1mtqE4fFwl71QhuSNZd/s640/blogger-image--583864465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGqtgrfFXPr5hyVLH1hzWVlKajPqzBHddH06mArR-jxRiWRqG_Miq0YNanO0CymRQFU_DcYFGZNoNnLBtuhHQF-w-WOYPBdwuUB2knSyQDsSxYFOEFFgzzXR6U1mtqE4fFwl71QhuSNZd/s640/blogger-image--583864465.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
You might also notice the canvas boards that I have in the tub next to the clay. These canvas boards are GREAT! They don't totally protect my tables, but they do a pretty good job. A lot of people cover the entire table for clay, but I don't have time as I teach Art 1, Art 2 and then back to Art 1. My advanced kids don't do clay at the same time as Art 1 and they really, really don't appreciate getting clay dust on their drawings!<br />
<br />
So there you have it. <br />
<br />
Art 1 is making 3 clay coils and a pinch pot today!</div>

And the nurses quickly said it's just been the girls, that I haven't picked up a paint brush. I told him that if I have done my job, I can tell the students the expectations, give them feedback and a little guidance and make sure that they have the necessary supplies, but I shouldn't have to do the project for them. He seemed a little surprised that I would be willing to give the students so much responsibility, I just said these are good kids and smiled. It was really interesting, he was so complimentary of the work, he just couldn't believe that I didn't force my hand in the work. I guess that the difference in our professions.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08227974692425333141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566128219000633178.post-44204056756825876152013-10-10T13:39:00.000-07:002013-10-10T13:39:37.290-07:00Animal Contour with Tangled Lines Watercolor Painting<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the second project in Art 1, students were asked to create a contour drawing of an animal. Becuase I wanted to reinforce the idea that they would be drawing from OBSERVATION, I had them draw various stuffed animals that I purchased from the dollar store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the animals drawings were not as inspired as they might have been if I had allowed them to draw from photographs, one of the most important things that students must learn in Art 1 is that they MUST draw from observation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway... we did a series of contour drawings of stuffed animals. I had bears, monkeys, a couple birds and various other stuffed animals. After a couple of days drawing, the students were asked to draw their favorite drawing on larger piece of paper, making sure that their animal was larger than the paper so that it "hung off" the paper on 3 sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the students created line drawings inside each section of the animal. If the student didn't listen at the begining and only had one big section of stomach, he/she found out really quickly that their project was going to be boring! After the line drawings (in sharpie) were finished, the students painted each section a different color using watercolors.</div>

Now that students have learned about the color wheel, they will begin creating a radial design color wheel in class. If you want to read more about the process, <a href="http://www.faithhopeandart.blogspot.com/2013/09/tradition-be-bleeped-i-teaching-color.html" target="_blank">click here</a>.</div>

I wish I knew how to upload a pdf file so that you could download and save this. I don't. Sorry. So you will just have to print this page or copy and paste the portion you need!!<br />
<br />
Now you can purchase supplies anywhere you want.. but I do know that the absolute EASIEST way to purchase supplies is to go to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Apple-Tree/118697704811178" target="_blank">The Apple Tree</a> or call Regina at 254-968-4440 and purchase all the supplies in one "kit" at a discounted price. (I think it's 10% off... not sure)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tshirt Tapestries have become great "filler" activities in my classroom. I have tubs of cut up tshirts and precut rectangles of the hook and loop canvas. When students are finished with whatever the current project is and I'm not ready for the group to move to the next project, students have the opportunity to work on a tshirt tapestry. I call them tapestries because they aren't rugs and they aren't paintings and they aren't sculptures, so tapestry it is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How do you make your own tshirt tapestry?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. start with a lot of tshirts and cut them into strips. I cut the entire shirt into 1/2 inch wide strips. I don't use the sewn selvages or the collar, but I use the rest of the shirt. I then cut the strip into about 4 or 5 inch long pieces. How long do you cut them? It depends on how shaggy you want your tapestry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Decide on if you want to create a pattern or image. Then get to work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Take a strip and gently pull it so that it rolls in on itself a little bit. Then fold in in half, run it under into a square, pull it through the other side and slip it through loop you just made and pull tight. Okay, that makes very little sense.. google latch hook rugs and follow the steps... I don't use a latch hook as I find it a lot more work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And don't you love the back of this! The art 1 guys who worked on this created it as they went. I love their problem solving and concept. Yes, the flag is backwards and they ran out of red, but the overall job is really nice. I will be using this in the future as a sample of great technique and good design, but lack of execution in the flipping of the design and running out of supplies.</div>

<br />
This final tapestry is way, way to shaggy and the canvas showing through tells me that they didn't work consistently on their lines. You can skip a row, as long as you embed the skipped squares between solid rows of tshirt. This one is not consistent.<br />

So, if you are looking to get rid of old tshirts, this is a great project for that! And, it is also a really nice differentiation project. The project below, while I started it with my daughter at home, I took it to school and had a couple of art 1 students work along a life-skills student. He threaded the strips through the hook base and the other students completed the loop. The students did a great job working together and the non-verbal life skills student was able to complete an on-level art 1 project with his regular ed peers!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my fall final exam, art 1 students completed the other half of the face drawing. For my spring final exam in art 1, students had to draw the entire face. They could reference the picture from the fall, but they had to draw from observation as well. I love the progression!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below are just a few examples, but these are not the only ones that were awesome. I was so pleased with the results of the project and love how you can see the individual students artistic development!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would love to give credit to the individual studetns here, but I'm not since the faces are here. If you know these students, give them a shout in person!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Embroidery Hoop Printmaking Tutorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you interested in printmaking but not sure where to start? Well, embroidery hoop printmaking isn't the easiest way to start printmaking, but it is super cheap! So how do you start? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, start with a simple image. NOT LIKE MINE! Sorry, you have to make do with my image as this was an actual project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Print your image on copy paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrFma64BCvqX7Sco-P0UD7Xnd7Kx67BhwFO75HMfzlN7y3hSUwAB7tVbtLQtv9FZ6wtFJ8MgFVogOTtKxtQxJ-ZrGon3XocGFaCELjk5VZT9FMi_2SqXg1x-JRZ4kJbz4qWV5E4t-f_Z0/s1600/screen_2494c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrFma64BCvqX7Sco-P0UD7Xnd7Kx67BhwFO75HMfzlN7y3hSUwAB7tVbtLQtv9FZ6wtFJ8MgFVogOTtKxtQxJ-ZrGon3XocGFaCELjk5VZT9FMi_2SqXg1x-JRZ4kJbz4qWV5E4t-f_Z0/s320/screen_2494c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Get an embroidery hoop and some sheer fabric. I bought a fabric panel at the discount store. Cut your fabric a little larger than your hoop and pull it super tight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Set your hoop with fabric down FLAT on to your design. It is important that you will see the image CORRECTLY with the hoop facing you. (see below).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Take your sharpie and draw you image onto the fabric. Yes, the sharpie will bleed, but where you actually draw will be black and the bleed will be gray.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Flip over the design and check to see how it looks.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC07iYmXNnI6cPsk96SYsMHTZ2_EKAmrMzFCMCSmD7-kfSRh-atV1dmyf3oO9VrxTv02f-jeLJj7bBIy6wfDfe4pjSM861VPJvYKPOnNL9VbteBSlGSPvSAhBh0os8FH02tLxvT4tOj9T7/s1600/screen_2497c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC07iYmXNnI6cPsk96SYsMHTZ2_EKAmrMzFCMCSmD7-kfSRh-atV1dmyf3oO9VrxTv02f-jeLJj7bBIy6wfDfe4pjSM861VPJvYKPOnNL9VbteBSlGSPvSAhBh0os8FH02tLxvT4tOj9T7/s320/screen_2497c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
6. Flip it back over and fix/fill in any areas that were not completed drawn in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. Get your fabric mod podge and paint all of the clear space. This is super important and will be done in two or three coats. The only area that will not be coated is the black design area.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8. For tiny areas, you toothpicks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
9. Periodically pick up the frame and paint the other side. This pushes the excess mod podge back through the screen and helps to keep the front of the screen flat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnVL_uJa6-Vhf9AO2fywyDO7UVmryDv0r2cCbcRgDRDx_apI4e7AhnI0l71hDZyf8sUfsvcc077yqHiZ31a68Ye67iSoXp7PaVZiOvXbANwJ59cW323GS35UJTtKXhFzo8gV6amMa8SX3t/s1600/screen_2485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnVL_uJa6-Vhf9AO2fywyDO7UVmryDv0r2cCbcRgDRDx_apI4e7AhnI0l71hDZyf8sUfsvcc077yqHiZ31a68Ye67iSoXp7PaVZiOvXbANwJ59cW323GS35UJTtKXhFzo8gV6amMa8SX3t/s320/screen_2485.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
10. Let the frame completely dry and then paint another coat. If you can see through the fabric, it is not sealed enough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7M4yVkJhqoJq5ooYYNpsFtLeub7lHLldzmWL942gmMTJpe2lxaCyGWdrRCZFutEryxpF-mQRBUjAy24Yn9lxUCnTYSvolSgyGe9rbVGjjSEx-f4O_-DfkRNRZQUG2j0OTP1DAowx3sAaY/s1600/screen_2486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7M4yVkJhqoJq5ooYYNpsFtLeub7lHLldzmWL942gmMTJpe2lxaCyGWdrRCZFutEryxpF-mQRBUjAy24Yn9lxUCnTYSvolSgyGe9rbVGjjSEx-f4O_-DfkRNRZQUG2j0OTP1DAowx3sAaY/s320/screen_2486.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11. Try out your frame on a piece of paper or throw away piece of fabric using acrylic paint. I like to pull the image with a credit card. It is important the frame is flat on your fabric and that you pull the print at a 45 degree angle. Only pull across each part of the image ONE time and only from ONE direction!. If it's not a great print, wash your frame out, let it dry and add mod podge to the "bad" spots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12. And here is what it looks like printed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4CHOloUKMB8cY43AvhsQPNjGaYlBirIZXbYa9DEszL_sKGRM_3EScj1qfpe8IeVkIf0eYL39EaomqOq5_EHghYcKoBMOGCMNBT_v5leRCiIcSCBhJmbjJmaz65W5z5UVVn5h9g-hrDJd/s400/100_4706.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4CHOloUKMB8cY43AvhsQPNjGaYlBirIZXbYa9DEszL_sKGRM_3EScj1qfpe8IeVkIf0eYL39EaomqOq5_EHghYcKoBMOGCMNBT_v5leRCiIcSCBhJmbjJmaz65W5z5UVVn5h9g-hrDJd/s320/100_4706.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Words of caution...<br />
<br />
This printmaking process is not for the faint of heart nor is it good for long runs. However, it would be ideal for a classroom project where every student was allowed to create their own prints. I would say that you could probably get about 10 good prints, maybe more, but the screen seems to break down and allow bleedouts quickly. Pulling from different angles makes bleedouts happen faster.<br />
<br />
I would suggest that you NOT use words, or if you do, no smaller than the "spaced out" words that I have on my image.<br />
<br />
Good luck!</div>

So I am making a pinterest board and I realized that all of my student's awesome printmaking work isn't on the web. I thought it was on the school website, but I realized that we changed the way the art albums were set up, so none of the printmaking work is there.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the photo dump, but I need to tag these on my pinterest board for my grad class!<br />
<br />
This first printmaking project is my O'Keeffe meets Warhol project. It is an awesome project and that I did in art 1. I'd give you more details, but I'm teaching a workshop on it in the fall at TAEA and it also happens to be accepted for publication in an art teacher magazine!<br />
<br />
But here are a couple to intrigue you!<br />

The next printmaking project is done with simple Styrofoam plates... but these are not your typical Styrofoam prints!<br />
<br />
The photos that I have do not show the intricate detail work. bummer.<br />

And the third project is a collagraph. It is a cardboard base with a cardboard "stamp" glued to the base. It worked great with tempera paints. I wouldn't use block ink as it is too tacky, but the washable poster paints worked beautifully on this project. Of course, there are not finished product pictures, but you can at least see the plate! </div>

The next project in this post are linoleum cut projects. This is just the traditional printmaking project. I have a number of pictures to show you here. You can also see that I use ink pads in my classroom for prints as well as block ink. I really like the ink pads for practice work and sometimes they are better for the finished product too!</div>

The final project in this printmaking explosion is screen printing. I think I have blogged a lot of these pictures, but just in case, I'm adding them to this post! These pictures are of my students screen printing different community based signage projects. I love having students do "real" screen printing in my classroom as they learn another art form, but they also learn a trade!<br />

I know this isn't a new project.<br />And truly it was one that I didn't do for years as "everyone does this.."<br />but.. okay, I see why its a go to art 1 project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We began the perspective process as soon as we started the second semester. I've found over the years that with schedule changes and sickness, that the first project of the 2nd semester needs to be a fairly cut and dried and an easy to transport project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one really does fit the bill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to be a little more creative, but in the end, <br />we just focused on drawing lines to the 2 vanishing points and being consistent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was rather difficult for some.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, it was a great differentiation project as all but<br />one student could do this project with limited modifications. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The basic guidelines for a 70 were:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 vanishing points</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 buildings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at least one door and window on all buildings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sidewalks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a crosswalk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
signage (building or street level)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some students did significantly more than the minimum as they wanted an A. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(side note: instead of giving guidelines as to what makes a 100, I find that my students do better when they know what earns them a 70, the passing mark. This doesn't overwhelm students as much and it gives me flexibility to really reward the extra effort. Additionally, instead of having a bunch of students not turning in projects because they are afraid they won't do well, I have almost every student turn in their projects as 99% of the students get the minimum finished before the due date.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some of the work samples. These are all art 1 students and most of my students have never had an art class until they walk through my door.</div>

Once the projects were graded the students were given the opportunity to take it back and add color for an extra credit grade. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I left for TAEA (Texas Art Educators Association) Convention, I had my Art 1 students working on drawing a silk flower from observation. My idea was to have them do a watercolor/glue project in an O'Keeffe style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, while at convention, I went to a class on colored pencils and india ink. Well, in the class we used beautiful Lyra pencils. Beautiful=Expensive. I don't have these, nor do my students. So I had to punt. In doing so, I have created a project that I have fallen in love with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are the steps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Do a contour drawing of the flower. I did birds-eye view for this sample piece. Fill the page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qJc90LIG-kjs_Zgbfu13ef919tReWVa3OQHEsIgBbc5DHGTRWghrRz0_JDbn5oxodbxdAe930c7lsY4VmD7zdfEDoyxnMQdOS1RfMY4XItQ5X1ZH1eTPaVJB7woia90qP5BZwAwwDM7Z/s1600/flower+contour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qJc90LIG-kjs_Zgbfu13ef919tReWVa3OQHEsIgBbc5DHGTRWghrRz0_JDbn5oxodbxdAe930c7lsY4VmD7zdfEDoyxnMQdOS1RfMY4XItQ5X1ZH1eTPaVJB7woia90qP5BZwAwwDM7Z/s320/flower+contour.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Color. Lots and lots of color. Use a lot of different shades and build and build color. Go in different directions as you fill in the color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJtLHa-WJfGEfdiHZ83TZxmAKr_Bv1BxP6hjbjdEvtYtNTCzDSJrN_TCr1oqMTyCRo5ZB4p0DxnqRdiLL8rCArmYR86qRkhKs9VU2Zeo49NgVL-LkURi1j8_N_DfhmoTX_mjyGDlzBsSH/s1600/flower+with+colored+pencil+only.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJtLHa-WJfGEfdiHZ83TZxmAKr_Bv1BxP6hjbjdEvtYtNTCzDSJrN_TCr1oqMTyCRo5ZB4p0DxnqRdiLL8rCArmYR86qRkhKs9VU2Zeo49NgVL-LkURi1j8_N_DfhmoTX_mjyGDlzBsSH/s320/flower+with+colored+pencil+only.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Keep building.When you think you have enough shades, keep going. My flower has at least 10 layers of colored pencil. (for the record here, I used prismacolor pencils.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK0Ob81XKuN1TuDy_LiF3VDhnZ0ijbt1n-2N3C8WOfjQtnBm5WAfrE1Z4VlYKlj6dSVXYlnlYTWFHVORJPPAV7QqcLnS-jpj1udEKnEa7nfff3fpXs2QjhH2tFTpRr6lz-qTQzoTLiqoA1/s1600/flower+with+colored+pencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK0Ob81XKuN1TuDy_LiF3VDhnZ0ijbt1n-2N3C8WOfjQtnBm5WAfrE1Z4VlYKlj6dSVXYlnlYTWFHVORJPPAV7QqcLnS-jpj1udEKnEa7nfff3fpXs2QjhH2tFTpRr6lz-qTQzoTLiqoA1/s320/flower+with+colored+pencil.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Take a brush and some odorless mineral spirits (I used Gamsol) and brush on. When you do this, the lines of the pencil bleed together and look painted. (This is not a new technique!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qHThSmccMtv_qIltod_x_tI_-cHssjoFTFuVicWASWdAJjzSFaqG0_YC5riMLwvJGPhc0664Rp9lpEWC0G6-qctMuJXVgNho5f1NYXW7maSv48MoMsbGQaGOxu5A2Chki2wz9Z-0U05n/s1600/flowe+with+colored+pencil+and+gamsol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qHThSmccMtv_qIltod_x_tI_-cHssjoFTFuVicWASWdAJjzSFaqG0_YC5riMLwvJGPhc0664Rp9lpEWC0G6-qctMuJXVgNho5f1NYXW7maSv48MoMsbGQaGOxu5A2Chki2wz9Z-0U05n/s320/flowe+with+colored+pencil+and+gamsol.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Now take the india ink and sponge on the back side of the paper. (I used a kleenex and just swiped it on it.. that's what I had available). Cover the entire paper. Flip over and do the same thing. Yes, even cover the flower. After you cover the entire paper, using a cotton ball (or kleenex for me..) wipe the flower clean. This will bring back your color, but leave the texture of the ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOPUqBiyzE7dERYH7oRQiwSn-r4mQUR-J422GHbGWXQt2dIHVx_4m6dbIQ-y9snN686HXoiOrJmDeennTePHxCgOcfhu_xYxHweR6ZO9NSTZoB3pAtl3I2rMb_uf7R0JVi9wJx5rL7t_5Z/s1600/flower+with+india+ink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOPUqBiyzE7dERYH7oRQiwSn-r4mQUR-J422GHbGWXQt2dIHVx_4m6dbIQ-y9snN686HXoiOrJmDeennTePHxCgOcfhu_xYxHweR6ZO9NSTZoB3pAtl3I2rMb_uf7R0JVi9wJx5rL7t_5Z/s320/flower+with+india+ink.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I felt like my colors were too muted at this point, so I started playing. I layered more colored pencil (prang this time, hoping for more wax) and built up a few more layers of colored pencil. Then I did the Gamsol again. Then I still wasn't thrilled, so I after considering my options, I settled on my Cray-Pas. And I love them!</div>
<br />
In this picture you can see where I put the oil pastel down on a couple of leaves and then you can see where I used the Gamsol brush and smoothed out the color.<br />

7. And that's the project. The finished piece looks better in person I think. It looks more like the above picture and is vibrant. I'm already thinking about the next project!<br />
