Redhair on Recycle Printed Vinyl

My artwork; mix media ,acrilic on paper on recycle printed vinyl and embrodiary detail.

I can  identify with the redhaired lady in the background., we are both from the same generation and with my camera I was looking at this young couple.

 I got the  vinyl printed sheet  from the The Center for Environmental Education in Hiriya   , a wonderful recycle center in Tel Aviv. I sewed the painting  on the vinyl sheet with the sewing machine and hand embrodied the detail before giving it to be pulled on a frame.

 Below are cool vinyl bus wraps 

RibbonWeb to Create a Design

This art project started with "game", stretching ribbons between the members of the group.

We  taped down a A3 white paper on the table in front of each member and pre cut a number of long ribbons for each member.

In the photo in the left you can see the masking tape in one corner and the pink ribbon that became part his art work.  

One at a time, each member streched a ribbon to a friend, from the edge of the table to a another member on the other side of th table. Using masking tape we attached the ribbons from one to the other.So that at the end of the "Game" the ribbons create one large web through out the table and divided each paper to many segments. Each design is different as you can see.

Using pastels , paint and stickers they filled the web on their paper. Once we finished we undo the ribbon web.

Doodling, Pink Sky

 

Study: Doodling Helps You Pay Attention

A new study suggests that idly doodling during meetings or boring lectures helps people pay attention and retain more information. 

Doodling forces your brain to expend just enough energy to stop it from daydreaming but not so much that you don't pay attention.

I found this 2009 study today while googling doodles to see what can be done with doodles.

Even in my early school years I always doodled, my notebooks and table top was always full of doodlings. In 5rd grade it was faces and in 7th grade it was drawing of shoes, that's when I decided to continue studing art.

Today while I talk on the phone I always doodle. My desk always have layers of paper to write notes and doodle while talking.

"pink sky" photoshop collage with 2 doodles, doodled during this weeks phone calls.

Clay Artproject, Fish

This is a great project to do with autistic adult, always a success.
I allways start with the technique of forming round shape balls the size of a cherry; I like this technique because I do not have to worry about kneading the clay well, and you get a very special boarder edge.

Using a paper plate as a base we filling the plate with clay balls.

Then I give out a cutout shape of a fish and help the members draw the outline of the fish with a sharp tool on the clay.

Once they had the ouline of the fish or object they used mosic stones to fill the inside of the fish.

Around the fish, the background was embossed with an icecream stick.

A layer of glue in put on the total artproject, once dry the paperplate can be removed.

  

Fish , Mix Media with Paper Plate

This was done in 2 session using paper plates. 

The first part was a COLOR BLUE collage, using torn blue paper, tissue paper, yarn etc...

The secend session: the Gold fish, embossed aluminum sheet that was precut in the shape of the fish, then designing the frame with paint and color sand.

We stapled the 2 plates together and  stringed the fish in the frame.
