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 .

Citrus Fruit- Circle Stancil

The season for the Citrus fruits is during the winter, so a couple of weeks ago all my classes did the artwork "citrus fruit", a great art lesson  the shape circle and mixing red and yellow to form orange.

For the upper grades they worked on a precut cardboard circle, they drew a circle using the stencil and glued a photocopy of a citrus fruit in the middle.

They formed roundshape balls from plasticine and pressed them on the linedrawing of the circle.

They colored the citrus fruit with the orange they mixed using red and yellow.

The 2nd grade students artproject was to extend the photo copy of the citrues fruit.

They used the stancil to drew more circular shape fruits.

Then they mixed red and yellow to create orange and painted the drewing.

Precut green leaves were added.

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

Plasticine Frame

A week after we made the ",circle with plasticine" we made this colorful mix media collage.

Each student choose a photo.

1. frame around the photo with plasticine,  using round shape balls technique.

 

2. tear strip of color paper and create a collage around the frame.

 

3. add a layer of glue on top of the plasticine frame.

 

 

Snail mix midia

Last week all my classes did some form of the "Snail".
I love the shape of the snail and I try to do it each year.
Snails from past years: "Snail, Winter Collage",
"snail,recycle + mix media"



- excercise to follow the line,
a 2nd grade special education class.




The older kids worked with eucalyptus trees bark, that I collected a few weeks ago in the park.

They enjoyed breaking the bark to small chips.

Squill Plant sign of the Fall Season

The first sign of the Fall season is the sqill plant (chazav).
A tall plant that stands so high almost reaching the sky, that made me think of creating a blue background as the sky and creating a standing format.
I had this cardboard from wine bottle packaging.
They mixed blue and white for the sky, I intended that white clouds would be formed.

While the paint dried they formed small shape balls from riped white paper. 
They drew a line for the stem on all 3 parts of cardbourd and glued the white flowers to form the squill plant.

...let it dry and fold the cardboard to three.

see "mix media, squill flower" for another artproject of the squill plant .

 

 

Eucalyptus Tree Bark

We had a great morning walk in Park Hayarkon, the central park of Tel Aviv.
The path along the river with the eucalyptus trees is wonderful.


Seeing that all the fresh bark around the trees as we were walking I decided to gather some bark for a future art project.

I not sure what we will do with it, but I love the texture, so....

 ...do you have a suggestions ?


...promise to post. 

Snail, Winter Collage,

After the rain the snails come out and we had a big rainstorm last week.

• For the background a collage with self torn tissue paper and trasparent paper  mixed with precut aluminium paper . Winter colors on black and .
• While the collage dryed they designed there snail on trasparence sheet; using plasticine on the line drawing.
• Then glued the trabsparent slide on the winter background and add a layer of glue on the plasticine.

Both stages of the project are very productive, and no matter what level they look good.

This technic was used in blue and white artproject,
