My Stitched Papercut Map Inspired by Matisse

 

Saturday morning I felt I needed to create,  to stitch together the remaining "leave' shape that I colored & cut weeks ago using an page from an old map book.  … Iooking for in that paperblock  I found  my drawing "women with a green hat ", I drew over a year ago.

last night I stitched the forms together.  

I use trasparent paper to design the stitches....   unconsciously I can see that I was inspired by Henri Matisse 

...it is a wonder how the creative process .....

Reuse Cardboard : Mobile, SeaShells

This is a great summer artproject ! reUse!  REpost !!
...

This summer project, cardboard mobile "shells" was hanged on the outside swing.

First they created the cardboard collage; on a pre cut recycled cardboard they glued squared shape precut cardcoard. After covering one side of the cardboard they turned the cardboard over and glued shapes on the reverse side. This step was repeated at least twice, and then put aside to dry.

 

 

 

The second object on the mobile is made from wavy cardboard. The shape was stapled to create a 3 dimension shape looking like a shell. The wavy side (outer side) is painted with gauche. For the inner side, I added glue to the paint and with a spoon color sand was poured on the object.

 

Van Gogh Landscape , Clay Artproject

RePost from Jul 30, 2009, first month of blogging

Beautiful work of art were made inspired by Van Gogh landscape drawing during 2 lessons.

A line drawing was choosen, I made 4 options, I simplifed Van Gogh drawings found in the internet.

On a heavy cardboard a rectangle was drawen the size of the line drawings.

From clay a block rectangle was made over the drawn rectangle.

With a pointy tool they traced the line illustration on the clay.

Once the landscape illustration was traced they were ready to work on the clay.

The lines of the drawing were formed with dry sticks and cotton rope.

 

 

Dotted designs were embossed with a variety of tools in all the areas of the landscape.

Last stage was to put a light layer of glue and let it dry.
The second lesson, the clay was dry.

A heavy layer of glue was rubbed on and around clay so that the artwork will be strong on the board.

Color gauche were mixed to form the color of the sky and fields .

Last stage was to color the artwork.

They all created beautiful clay tablet.

Personal Hand, End of the Year Artwork

waving goodbye to the school year, hello summer! 

Personal HAND artproject, ,

The older classes, young teens SpcialEd, made a collage, using precut circle for the background.

his background was so well done that I encouraged

 him to glue the hand on the left of the background.

 

The younger group, 2nd grade special education,  worked with crayon only on large color paper.

They waited patiently for me to draw around their hands and then colored in and around the hand shape. This made it very personal drawing

  

 

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

"WallKeeper", my Movie Maker Video



One of my creative pleasures is to weave  baskets from branches and thread of nylon bag. I first make the thread;' cut nylon bag to form rings that are weaven together to make a endless thread as long as I need.  

The name  "WallKeeper" comes from their organic shape that forms a magical space on the wall, like a natural niche on the wall. Niches in nature and in history have always been a place to keep things.

...I decided to try to capture the process it in video.  . .

What do you think??

Foliage Collage and Color Tissue Paper, Henri Matisse

Insired by 'Tree of Life' Stained Glass by Henri Matisse

Using full sheet of semi transparent sandwich paper, glueing leaves and color tissue paper folding in the middle and adding stick for hanging.

Same as we did "Holiday Light, Inspired by Chihuly" artproject , here wool and color tissue paper are glued in side , pressed on a bowl to form a candle holder for the holiday.

.

This is how it lookes when the glue is still wet before forming shape.

I image that using transparent paper would be even more exciting .
