Holiday Hanging Art

 

 

This photo is the back and front of the same art project.

 

 

 

After choosing the 2 illustrations

 they glued the illustration  on the center of half the  A3 bristol paper that is folded at the end.

While the glue dryed,  they embossed the aluminium sheet with a holiday sign.

 

Around the illustrations I added lines , as a starting point to design the decoration. They continued the line to create a pattern to color; each making an original design.  

The A3 bristol is folded in 2, and put together with a staple to the alluminum hanger.

We used wooden sticks that were cut from a decrative fance that was about to be thrown away.

paper handmade bowl design with swirling pot lid

 

Yesterday  after working with watercolor paper I was left with one very wet paper so I decided to experiment with the paper.

 

 - I placed the wet paper in a plate to shape it into a bowl and let it dry.

 

- once it dryed I started experimented with the paint.

- you can see the drops of ink, I brushed the ink with wet brush creating the yellowish background. 

- than, working in the kitchen I saw the pot lid and the idea came together to use the pot lid as a swirling base and making the lines with a brush as I turn the lid with the other hand.

SOOOO much FUN!! 

 

 - brush glue on the both top and bottom of bowl

Personal Art PaperBag Profolio, Special Ed School

 At the end of last year each student went home with a beautiful colorful paperbag portfolio

They worked on a 1/2 of a cardboard

I went around the table and gave each student (special Education) one at a time strips of masking tape, about 10 striped, 10 to 14 c"m long.

They pressed it on the board to form a design.
 

- first they colored with pastels
- then with gauche paint

...even when painted in one color, the masking tape form a lovely texture.

 

I cut their art work in half and glued it to the paperbag

Blue & White Dove

... honoring our blue and white flag and the dove of peace. 

 I found that my adults autism liked to work with stickers, they all created wonderful patterns. 

-The background is painted blue, white was mixed with the blue to make it a personal blue.

- choose a blue or white precut dove and decorate it with stickers

- glue on background

- add stickers, white pastel and bluemarker

2 Stained Glass Window Projects for the Holiday Season

During this holiday season we did two stain glass artprojects, both with transparent sheet

Winter, The Cyclaman Plant

My favorite wild  flower is the Cyclaman, that blooms in the beginning of the winter.The flower has lovely shape leaves, shaped like a heart and  each leaf is  beautifuly  designed with a mix of greens.

So with some of my high students we used stancil to make leaves and with the rest I cut heart shape leaves out of the paper the students painted in green a week before.

We work on color, mixing white and red for pink.

 

another version of the cyclaman plant using pastels.

and another using transparent sheet and plasticine on pastel background

Autumn Leaves and Colors

using the cardboard stancil of the circle we made this coloful Autumn Leave collage.
I photocopy a leaf I collected in the garden.

In class they drew the circle using the stancil.

Glue the photocopy leave inside the circle.


Glue cutout shape leaves cut from colorfull pages of old magazine around the circle they drew.

Paint everything in the collors of the falling leaves orange and red . 

you can see another autumn leave project done with autistic adults

Shapes, Circle with Plasticine

Keeping with my objective this year of teaching "Shapes", my teen age special ed. classes created those colorful artworks 

1. First thing create many round shape balls from plasticine.
2. Using  precut cardboard stancil  they drew the circle
3. Paint outside and inside the circle in 2 different colors.

 My after thought, it can be a good way to work on the COLOR WHEEL- using Primary Colors paints and  Secondary Colors plasticine.
