Wow has this week gone by so fast. I do apologize for not getting the blog up faster, there's been a lot going on at the moment. Ok our last class we worked on our Oil/Water Resists, and almost everyone got that complete. So pictures will be posted next week as they were still too wet to take photos. And there are a few that still need to soak there papers for the final step.
This is our drawing that has been given a chalk outline to define a sharp line, filled in with oil pastels. Then we used a q-tip and baby oil to blend the oil pastels to given a more unified look.
Then we covered them in a thick layer of black paint. The oil pastels resist the paint for a stunning overall look. This was my sample for the class to see. The class assignment was to use an odd number of leaves in a flowing pattern to draw the eye around the paper.
Then we moved on to designing our "mask" projects. The Fab 5's were asked to pick themes that mainly just needed to be painted. But the Big Hero 6 group need to alter or add to their masks that will go along with their theme. This week we start our mask projects. So don't forget to wear clothes to get dirty in or an apron as we will be using paints and paper mache paste this class.
Our sketchbook assignment this week is to trace the skull (handout I gave to everyone) and design your own Day of the Dead masks. Research "Day of the Dead" masks if you need ideas or click the link at the bottom of this Blog post. But please only use them for inspiration and try not to copy the exact masks you find. Make the design as original as possible. Remember to think outside the box!
Here are a few more finished Multi-Technique Projects:
If you ever need to see where I find any of my ideas check out our Art Club Pinterest board.
Or if you need to see Day of the Dead Masks, I have many sample ideas available on my Pinterest board as well.
