A tale of an IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable Presentation. [flickr id=”6463833451″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] Before the IAEA Conference, my colleague in the Art Education MAT program, Keli Campbell, and I applied to present at the IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable. Our main interest and goal was to present a demonstration and lesson plan idea on Collagraph Printing. [flickr id=”6463825895″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] What is Collagraphy? Collagraphy is a print-making process where various materials are glued to a hardboard to create a raised texture. The collaged collagraph plate can then be printed with a press or by hand with a roller. [flickr id=”6463828383″ thumbnail=”medium_640″ overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”center”] A few examples of various materials that can be used for Collagraph textures are: leaves, seeds, string (hemp), acrylic paint, crushed paper, bubble rap, sandpaper, cardboard, grass, and many others...

Inspired by the paper collages created by Henri Matisse, this lesson transforms the realistic image of a leaf through the use of color and shape. Complementary colors, Geometric Shape, and Organic Shape are the art terms that will be taught and implemented during the production of this collage project. Information about Matisse, the art of paper Collage, and Fauvism will be introduced to the students through two separate articles. This lesson is a simple collage lesson that will produce beautiful results which will be perfect for autumn. A detailed lesson plan is included which outlines National Core Visual Arts Standards, Lesson Objectives, Vocabulary with definitions, a Material List, as well as a detailed Teaching Procedure for each instructional day. The PDF slides are quite inclusive and detail vocabulary, definitions, instructions, and clear photos that show the progression of the lesson step-by-step. A Project Reflection handout has been included to allow the students the opportunity to review their artistic experience as well as facts pertaining to Matisse and art vocabulary. Preparing for this lesson will take very little time. Print enough copies of the student handouts and organize the art supplies needed for each day. (The material list includes basic art supplies such as construction paper, pencils, erasers, glue, and scissors.) Project the PDF presentation during class time and guide the students through each step of the lesson. An arrangement of the student's completed complementary color leaf collages certainly will make for a colorful fall bulletin board display. NOTE: This PDF presentation is non-editable

Monoprinting is a form of printmaking that allows you to create unique, freeform printed images every time.

This will allow you to produce abstract
For centuries, artists have created self-portraits to give others a glimpse into who they are. Since our likes and dislikes, personalities, hobbies, and skills all contribute to making us interesting and unique, why not include those in a self-portrait, too? And what could be a more fun approach to this than a mixed media collage??!...
Today I worked with lines and scribbles, inspired by a few of my students who were in the 100 Drawings class. My goal was just to see what I can do with crayons, oil pastels, and other line-making tools, on their own, without point. I did venture into paint, though, as you'll see in the video, but the focus is on drawing media. These are not meant to be "pieces", or even studies. They are just byproducts of my playing around. Which is how I like to think of all my work. Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper, one I'd used to lift paint. So it has a ground of acrylic paint. I scratched through the oil pastel with a razor into the dark green at bottom right. This one is soft pastel (the really dusty kind), conte crayon (the black), a few oil pastels, and Crayola crayons. Maybe some graphite in there too. Graphite of various sorts, oil pastels, water soluble crayon Graphie, ink, Crayola crayon, and water soluble crayon Soft pastel, graphite crayon, Crayola crayon, ink, water soluble crayon Various oil pastels and crayons, acrylic paint Various crayons and oil pastels, graphite, ink, and acrylic paint This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper on which I had off-loaded excess paint. On top of the paint is graphite, oil pastel, and various crayons. Also done on top of paint off-loads: mostly oil pastel, acrylic paint. The crayons and oil pastels I reference in the video are: Crayola Crayons, which you can get anywhere, so a link is unnecessary. Cheap Oil Pastels: I used ProArt, but Cray Pas are comparable; Van Gogh are good inexpensive oil pastels. Sennelier Oil Pastels: these are buttery and pigment-rich. Holbein Oil Pastels: I love these; they are a bit harder than the Sennelier, and just as smooth and pigment-rich. They come in a H U G E range of colors, with tints and shades of many colors as well. These are a bit larger than Sennelier, and comparably more expensive per piece. Caran d'Ache Neopastel: yummy, not as soft as Sennelier, good pigment load. These are a little smaller than the Sennelier, and very slightly cheaper. Probably the same price per unit of weight or volume. Caran d'Ache Neocolor II: these are the water soluble crayons I use all the time. In some of the above pieces I've used graphite crayon, graphite pencils, and pitt pens as well. Fun FUN!!
