ASL Endangered Animals
Students create paintings of endangered animals, 'finger spelling' (in American Sign Language) the name of the animal by drawing their own hands in modified contour technique around the edges of the acrylic on paper painting.
Aesthetic Scanning We studied Aesthetic Scanning, and specifically provenance and how it relates to the value and interest of artwork and history. Students checked out this link and discussed in class: Edvard Munch "The Scream" |
Linoleum Block PrintmakingStudents carefully use lino cutters to make their 4x5" linoleum block prints as a warm up exercise for more linoleum block printmaking.
