Lets take two days of the three to work on the boxes and one day to work on the printing. On one of the days, I will demonstrate how to use the gelli printing tools. Be creative in testing out the capabilities of the gelli and see how you will be able to work this in to your theme for printing and possibly your box. Because last week had so many different schedules this week we will have a mini session on the print artist here on the Big Island.
Lets use a few pieces of pre-decorated paper that you created to do a few prints on. Once dry, use other materials to embellish the print in to a final art piece. Consider colors that you can print with to enhance the block print you created. This week the backgrounds for your box should be finished. NOW is the time to play with placement of objects and start to create pieces you can incorporate in your box. You have collected 5 items and will need to create 4 additional pieces to put in the assemblage of your box work.
In Studio... Start working on your background of your boxes. What textures and colors are you planning on focusing on for your audience... remember to consider your voice and theme in your piece... this is about you! This week we will continue to refine our print blocks and learn about a local artist who is known for his wood block prints. Its a full work week so be prepared to have a mini one on one session with me to discuss how you plan to assemble your pieces in your box... I have other embellishments you can add to the over all look of your assemblage piece.
