Studio Projects (For specific dates, refer back to Sequence of Events pages.) Howard 7 Shoe Drawing On a 12x18 sheet of paper, students will practice recording what they see in front of them. In this case, it will be either their shoe (Art I) or a small object of their choosing (Art II). They will fill their space with this one object and create a simple background to complement the subject. Students may use pencil only (value) or add color using colored pencils or crayons. Monotypes Students will apply ink to a 8x10 acrylic sheet, and then wipe away parts to create their image. They will print these onto 9x12 paper and practice signing them correctly. Callographs Students will create a design using yarn (or other found objects beads, etc.) onto a small piece of cardboard. Once dry, they will print the plate onto a 9x12 sheet of paper. Woodblock and Foam Stamp (Art I) Students will create a design on a small sheet of foam. They will take the positive image and adhere to one side of a woodblock. The negative space of the foam will be applied the opposite side of the woodblock. This creates two stamps (relief blocks). Students will them use these to create two rhythm prints on 12x18 paper. They may choose from regular, alternating, or random rhythms. Linocut (Art II) Students will plan a design on paper. Then they will cut this design from a linoleum block from which they will create two prints.
