February 16 - 19, Quote of the week

"I passionately hate the idea of being with "it," I think an artist has always got to be out of step with his time." -Orson Welles

___________
Orson Welles was both an award-winning actor and a director. What do you think "it" is? What is "out of step"?

February 16, Tuesday

What you need today: collagraph plate, brush, mod podge, printing paper, ink

Complete your Collagraph plate. Make sure you have your textures glued down well to the plate.

Seal your Collagraph plate.
Use mod podge to seal everything on your plate. Make sure you cover all the textures with the glue. The glue will dry transparent, but you need to make sure you don't put so much on that it is white. MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE BRUSH OUT COMPLETELY AFTER USING THE MOD PODGE.

Test your plate.
Once your plate has been sealed for a day, then you can make a FROTTAGE, or rubbing of your plate to test it before you print for the first time. Cover the collagraph plate with newsprint and use a crayon to rub across the top of the paper.

Ink your plate.
Apply ink from the well using a dauber. Use sheets of newpaper to rub or buff off the ink. The lighter the ink, the harder is is to show different textures.

Pulling your Print.
Run your plate through the press after lightly misting the paper. Slowly pull the paper from the collagraph plate.

February 10-11, Wednesday & Thursday

Complete your collagraph board so we can begin printing on Tuesday.

Once you have built up your textures, seal them in mod podge and leave it to dry overnight. All of the board must be sealed in order to print the following day.

We will begin a couple of printmaking techniques for our journal assignments while we all printing our collagraphs.

February 8-9, Monday & Tuesday

Printmaking Power Point:

Matisse Power Point

This is the power point we watched in class last week about Matisse. You were to take notes during the presentation and had to include a cool title, the hallmarks of Matisse's style, his themes for his cutouts, and draw at least of the shapes from his power point.

Project Plan is due tomorrow!

February 1, Monday

We are going to put off talking about Printmaking techniques until Wednesday.

Today we will review what makes a Matisse cut-out and what is expected of each student for the project plan which is due on Wednesday. The expectation is for the students work on their project ideas and to use color pencils on the enlargement to help show what will be the same texture for our collagraph plates.

• Choose at least two colors for the collograph using color theory to enhance the meaning of the collograph
• Develop the collograph design based on either an abstraction of nature or on a personal life-experience
• Formally present the best print to the class and defend the collograph design and color choice.

• Monday: Introduce printmaking techniques and complete definitions quiz. Complete jounals page by the end of class. Journal assignment due!
  
• Tuesday: Critique day for our Notan Compositions and our journal assignments. You can bring "snacks." Notan is due!
  
• Wednesday: Demo how a collagraph works. Continue working on our Matisse project plan (the enlargement). Project plan is due in color!
  
• Thursday: Begin creating collagraph plate.
  
• Friday: Journal Day!

Journal Assignment: Create a Matisse paper construction of your project plan. Use cut paper to create your project plan. Construct the paper in bright colors as Matisse would have. Due on Tuesday, February 16.

January 29

Journal Day. We are completing our word composition pages with colored pencil and watercolor.

Assignments due next week:

• Project Plan for Matisse-style cutouts, due Wednesday, February 3
• Notan Project for a class critique, due Tuesday, February 2
• Journal Pages, due Monday, February 1 (end of class)
  

For your Matisse-style project plan:

• Make three thumbnails of a natural environment, an event or place, or a story (no movies).
• Must include background shapes, overlapping shapes, no details.
• Remember you are trying to make sure other people don't guess right off the bat what your "theme" is - be secretive.

January 28, Thursday

View the Matisse Power Point. Look for connections between our last two projects and his work. Find what are the "hallmarks" of his cutout style.

Begin to plan for a collograph print using a Matisse theme: a natural environment or an event.

Use background shapes to create visual movement. Make organic shapes to convey expression and information about the concept.

Once you have designed the plate use color pencils to LIGHTLY color in the different areas that are related so it can be translated into a collograph print (we talk about that next week.)

Project Plan is due by next Monday, February 2nd.

January 25, Monday - January 27, Wednesday

Putting the Notan Together

1. Choose the BACKGROUND colored paper.
2. Cut out the RECTANGLES from your two other pieces of colored paper. Use a ruler to measure the rectangles according to the "Format" page in your folder (the "packet"). Cut the rectangles out with an exacto and a ruler. Remember neatness counts.
3. Cut your big template apart by rectangles and use them as a pattern for cutting out your mutations from the correct colored paper.
4. Place the pattern over the correct colored paper and cut out the mutation using an exacto (don't forget the cutting board).
5. Glue down the rectangles, then the mutations using small dots of glue. Don't forget to spread out the glue with your finger.

Last day to work on this project in class is Wednesday, January 27th. The project is due on Monday, Feb 2. We will have a class critique. You can bring "goodies" to eat, but they must have a unique label designed by you using some "descriptive" word to describe them.

When you are finished, work on your Journal Entries.

Journal Assignment: Hand Designs. Using only black pen, design your hand to reflect your name and family background. You can use the letters of your name and any designs that are representative of your background. For example, if you are of Irish decent, you could use shamrocks as design elements. One good idea to begin with is to use pencil to sketch with and then follow it up with pen design.
