- Overlapping! Mailing labels are sticky, so use them to overlap overtop each other to change proportions of the piece.
- Use the Negative Space! try leaving some of the black background and make that a part of the composition.
- Cut the labels! Try cutting the labels into smaller lines/ rectangles for a new variety of shapes to use in the piece.
- Other ideas????---Share with us if you can think of something interesting to try.
Things to try:
Today we will use some of your images/ (thumbnails, photographs, etc) to create a watercolor monotype. You will have one class period to create these.
Turn in one final image AND one ghost print:
Create an ATC (artist trading card). Try to add something that will fit with your sustained investigation topic. If you lost the card that I gave you, you can make your own ATC card out of 2.5 x 3.5 inch cardstock or watercolor paper.
For today's challenge, you will create a small, quick collage from fibers. You should start with small fabric scraps and then add yarn, string, and/or embroidery floss for linear details. We will be using Elmers glue and matte medium to adhere fibers to our mat board backgrounds. work by French artist Cecile Perra, layered collage, drawing, and stitch. Find her on Instagram: @cecileperra.
For today, we will be doing an experimental painting technique on cardboard. Below are some other images of how cardboard can be used as a surface in art. (you can add to your piece with some of these techniques below later, or you can use cardboard as a tool for future projects.) Painting technique: Monochromatic painting with fingerprints!!! --below is a sample from artist, Chuck Close who used fingerprints to create the image. This is a student created image using fingerprints. (they had more than one class period) These were created using black, white and one other color of tempera paint from a previous Frantic Friday by Mrs. LaQuaglia. They painted with fingers instead of using fingerprints. The following were created using white and black paint---using fingerprints! (see the process below) Below are some other Kell student examples:
We are about to begin our 3rd sustained investigation, but for this one, our constraint is to add a minimum of 5 different types of mark making somewhere within the composition. The good thing is, that there are thousands of ways to make marks. What you have to determine is what will work for you and how can the use of marks relate to your topic/composition?
(AP 3D, you can add mark making to the surfacing of your next sculpture). Use at least 2 different types for 3D. What is "mark Making"?
"In art, mark making is a term used to describe the different lines, patterns, and textures that are made visible as a manifestation of applied or gestural energy. It is the gestural “language” of the artist, and it is a term that can refer to any art material applied to any surface. Mark making happens not only with paint on canvas or pencil on paper but in every form of expressive drawing. Aside from what these marks may add to a painting they possess unique characteristics that have the power to identify artists, almost as fingerprints do, to art aficionados." https://www.ubelarts.com/blog/mark-making-inspired-by-the-masters-to-find-artistic-voice/
"Marks can be descriptive, expressive, conceptual, and symbolic in nature."
"Artists often use mark making and gestural qualities to express their feelings or emotions about something they have seen or experienced."
"Mark-making is the broad term used to include all marks that are made visible as a manifestation of applied or gestural energy. It is the gestural language of drawing, and marks are the component parts within it. There are an infinite number of marks possible, and our nomenclature for them is limited - lines, dots, dashes, smudges, etc.. It is difficult to refer to specific marks, and know that the term adequately communicates its intended meaning. Everybody makes his or her own unique set of marks and every medium has its own particular quality of mark." https://personal.utdallas.edu/~melacy/pages/Drawing/AS01_MarkMaking_DrawingProjects/MarkMaking.html
"Mark making is a term used to describe the different lines, patterns, and textures we create in a piece of art. It applies to any art material on any surface, not only paint on canvas or pencil on paper. A dot made with a pencil, a line created with a pen, a swirl painted with a brush, these are all types of mark making.
Mark making can be loose and gestural, or structured and controlled such as hatching. Most artists work with a variety of marks in every painting, but there are some styles, such as Pointillism, where just one type of mark is used." It is easy to think of a mark as a building block for whatever you choose to create:
Other ways to think about mark-Making:
Mark making styles:
MARK MAKING PART 1: EXPLORE THE MARK!
Use 1-2 pages in your sketchbook to experiment with as many different types of marks you can think of to make with as many different media you may have to make them. Making marks can include drawing, erasing, stamping, swiping, pulling, printing, or painting the media on your sketchbook. (Paint, charcoal, oil pastel, pen, pencil, watercolor, marker, experimental tools, etc.). (see below for sample mark making images)

PART 2: WATERCOLOR MARK MAKINGUse ink/ ink wash techniques for your background. Then create your subject matter with charcoal and/or ink.
Today we will create a piece loosely inspired by @jilliansuzanneart artist. Her website is: Jilliansuzanneart.com . We will be experimenting with abstracting forms AND manipulating water-soluble media.
