Encaustic-Repousse Landscapes, grades 6-11
Students were to create a composition that shows contrast in design and materials. Impressionism and expressionism were to be interpreted using encaustic wax painting with metal engraving. Comparison of master artists styles and genre were discussed using Monet and Van Gogh examples.
Students were to create movement, rhythm, and pattern, by cutting organic and/or geometric lines and shapes in paper after an introduction to Mexican papel picado tradition. Their designs were to be spontaneous and unplanned, while building layers underneath. An artist statement was written at end.
Impressionist Collage, grades 9-12
The history of collage was introduced for students to recreate a master's painting by gluing small paper cut/torn from magazines. Color was to be matched closely while following transitions, blending and composition.
