GWMS Week 2.3


GWMS Week 2.3 Video

Painting and Printmaking

The students enjoyed seeing images of Wayne Thiebaud's dessert and cake paintings.  He seemed like a natural choice when we were talking about tints and shades of colors.  Some students chose to paint pictures of cake with tints and shades - they were very successful.

There is a great video about Wayne Thiebaud on CBS Sunday Morning.  You can watch it here:Wayne Thiebaud.



We opened the printmaking center this week and students learned about monoprints and relief prints.  I found a great video about a collograph mask that uses positive and negative spcae.  It can be viewed here: collograph mask

Examples of these ideas can been seen in the student artwork video above.  Enjoy!
