2nd six weeks

Good job print makers!

prayer flags are beautiful and send a most positive message again. reminder..all printmaking students are invited to the cosmic cafe to have dinner with the monks after the prayer flag exchange this Friday...our fair day.

students are responsible for finding their own ride to the restaurant and of course the museum.

ceremony is from 5:30-6:30pm this Friday Oct. 8th

everyone is invited to the ceremony and the mandala will be complete...

however dinner is for you student artists and free tibeters...

presenters please be there a bit earlier maybe 5:10...

and then the monks leave

next crow project message in a bottle....in may.

so far UD and CCS are participating.

2nd 6 weeks project

you will have these 6 weeks to complete this project...

so pace yourselves. completion is essential.

the self portraits as a whole turned out great. now is the time to not only carve a great plate but to make a really strong thought provoking demanding narrative political image.

1. find an article from the universal declaration of human rights or the U.S.A constitution

each student can only work on one that hasn't been claimed so check sign up sheet.

2.we will be working with reduction process

either linoleum ( 2' x 1.5")

or wood 20" x 29"

a few of you are working on metal plates.

3. I must review your image before you transfer it to the plate and see the drawing on the plate before you start carving.

look up reduction print on utube before you start carving.... there are a lot of clips explaining the process. unfortunately school blocks many sites.

this is because we need to decide on how the reduction will happen especially for those of you working on wood plates.

4. once the plan is set remember to do many test prints and to save these. cut all your paper first and have it ready to print.

everyone will be expected to print 20 -25 prints to hopefully get a good edition of 15.

reduction printmaking is a way to learn registration.

remember this.

I WANT POWERFUL IMAGES "SCREAMING" HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR ARTICLE OR AMENDMENT.

OPEN STUDIO THIS SAT. FROM 9:15 -12:45 OCT 8TH

FOLKS REMEMBER TO LOOK AT EXAMPLES ON THE WEB
