This week Art I will be continuing our printmaking unit, learning about artist Shepard Fairey, and creating prints from our self portraits. Here is my silly example that illustrates what not to do - ie - no hands, no "duck face":
Students will be transferring their image to the soft cut linoleum, and carving their image. The carving takes about 2 days, and the printing is extremely fast! This assignment - the final 3 "good" prints are due on Friday!
Studio art had tons of fun last week with our team building art activities. Our teaming will continue this week with a lesson in life drawing and gesture drawing. Teams will take turns modeling for each other while the other team members draw them. By the end of the week we will have several completed drawings.
