Your job is to find a book and alter it.

This will be a project that you do as much as you want/can throughout the quarter.

Aim to add to it at least once a week.

It can be 3D or 2D. It's completely up to you how to change your book.

You will be graded on RISK, CRAFTSMANSHIP, CREATIVITY, and use of resources.

Key Phrases for Research: altered book, book arts, altered book art

1. Pencils only. No writing, no miming! Drawing with non-dominant hand only.

2. Table 1, 2, and 3 are teams.

3. I will write the word on the board (while non-drawers close their eyes)

4. You get ONE minute to draw. Whoever guesses first ends that round and gets a point. First to 10 wins!

5. Pass the big paper to the next table-mate and continue.

6. Winning table gets candy!

Tips:

Search Pinterest for:

Altered Book

Altered Book Art

Artists Sketchbook Pages

Artists Journal

Book Arts

Cut or rip out pages you don't need/want (otherwise your book can get too wide and the binding can break)

Laminate (glue flat) pages together to give yourself less work and to make your pages sturdier

EXPERIMENT! Don't be afraid to mess up! If you don't like something, rip it out. This is low risk!

# data[].attributes.body
Do NOT begin on your record until you have looked up ideas, planned, and experimented on another surface/the BACK of the record.

You can use graphite to transfer drawings onto your record, but do so carefully as pencil doesn't erase easily on this surface.

As you head into January, you may begin to realize your supply budget is never going to last the rest of the year.

For example, no matter how much white paint I order, or what projects we do, I always run out of white paint.

Let's explore 10 mixed-media artists who will help you and your students find ways to create with what's left in your room.

1. We Make Carpets

We Make Carpets is a group of three designers with wonderful imaginations. At first glance, the work they create looks like carpets. But, get closer, and you'll see they're made from found objects arranged in intricate patterns.

There are "carpets" made from pencils, balloons, forks, and more.

Have students brainstorm the found objects to which they have access like bottle caps, dead markers, or milk cartons. Over the course of a few days or weeks, have them collect items. In class, have them draw patterns and think about where they might install their creations.
Website: www.wemakecarpets.nl
2. Martha Haversham

Martha Haversham is an interdisciplinary artist from the UK. She creates simple, playful images by combining parts of the figure with found objects. Her combinations bring both the figure and the object new life.
Website: www.instagram.com/smallditch
Her artwork is a great way to encourage students to reimagine the bits and pieces they find laying around every day. Challenge students to create a piece using something they find on the floor or in the hallway.

3. Clare Celeste Borsch

Clare Celeste Borsch is a collage and installation artist. Her work is full of color and whimsy and sure to make you want to grab your scissors and X-ACTO knife.
Website: http://clareceleste.com/
Start recycling magazines, picture books, and junk mail to create individual collages inspired by her work. Or, have students work in groups to create a collaborative installation to transform a selected space. Both of these are low-cost projects with big impact.

Make sure to scroll through her Instagram feed for endless inspiration.

Looking for more mixed-media techniques to bring into your classroom? Check out the Collage Techniques for Every Level and Beginning Sculpture PRO Learning Packs You'll explore innovative ideas to go beyond paper and glue and discover new lessons and ideas that can be used with a variety of materials.

4. David Wightman
Website: http://www.davidwightman.net/
David Wightman is an abstract landscape painter. The textures in his paintings will surprise you, as he paints with acrylic paint over textured wallpaper. He works with flat colors, creating depth by layering and overlapping blocks of color. His work has been transformed, printed onto fabric, and used by designers to create clothes.

Try having students create textured painted paper for collage. You might try painting on wallpaper samples, corrugated cardboard, or other textured surfaces.
Website: http://jennadouglass.com/
As you look through his Instagram, feed you'll see the simple sketches he uses to guide his final paintings. Use these to help students think through planning their own pieces.

5. Jenna Douglass
Website: http://www.njidekaakunyili.com/
Jenna Douglass creates mixed-media pieces, through collage, painting, masking, and drawing. Her work is filled with a variety of lines and textures.

Use her work to help students learn about composition, masking techniques, and layering.
Website: http://www.laurencollin.com/
6. Njideka Akunyili Crosby

Njideka Akunyili Crosby creates figurative compositions through collage. She lived in Nigeria until she was sixteen and now resides in the U.S. Her compositions are full, yet tend to have a sense of calm as she brings two worlds together. Her work is a combination of collage and painting.
Website: http://www.evamagill-oliver.com/
Challenge students to bring elements of collage into a painting or drawing while making it look like both were created by the same hand.

7. Lauren Collin
Website: http://johannagoodman.com/
Lauren Collins makes delicate cuts into watercolor paper creating beautiful monochromatic bas-reliefs.

Provide students with small squares of watercolor paper and see what they can create. Or, recycle past pieces that students don't like, or left behind. Flip the paper to the back and cut, slightly revealing the colors on the other side.
Website: http://www.galejamiesonart.com/ What is your favorite mixed-media project? Who is your favorite mixed-media artist?
8. Eva Magill Oliver

Eva Magill Oliver creates paintings and collages on paper. Her sketchbooks are especially intriguing. She transforms them through drawing, painting, cutting, and collaging, not letting the edge of the page restrain her.

Use her work as inspiration to help students reimagine how they use their sketchbook s. Next, head to her website and spend some time viewing and discussing the collaborations sections. Her designs are turned into quilts, delicate mobiles, and dinnerware.

9. Johanna Goodman

Johanna Goodman uses collage to create playful figures. She explores proportion and storytelling through the images she combines. Be sure to check out the highlights on her Instagram stories as her collages come to life with animated elements.

Connect with your school's history teacher and have students create a collage of a historical figure.

10. Gale Jamieson

Gale Jamieson created a series of sculptures by layering newspapers and magazines. Each piece resembles the shape of a tree and tells a story through the images on the outer layer of the piece. The pieces are preserved with beeswax.

With your students, explore the process of layering or laminating to create a 3D form. Use items like newspaper, magazines, or cardboard.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to working with mixed media. Providing students with non-traditional art supplies can also be a fun and powerful way to save money and challenge their creative problem-solving skills.

Now that you have a bunch of new media under your belt, your next mission is to... create a project of your choice that incorporates one NEW media to YOU.

This will allow me to see what YOU gravitate toward naturally without me influencing your media choice and will challenge you to explore and experiment.

---------------

Begin by SCREENSHOTTING a bunch of mixed media art that interests you (google/pin: mixed media art, collage art, mixed media sculpture, etc.).

Then... EXPERIMENT before you do a final please!

# data[].attributes.body
A general rule is: A compliment AND suggestion :) Here are some thing you can give compliments and suggestions on:

1. Composition: Are the objects in the picture plane balanced with each other? Is there a focal point? Can you tell which compositional strategy the artist is using?

2. Negative/Positive Space:  Is there too much/not enough negative (empty) space? Is there a good balance? What can you suggest that the artist do to address the empty/negative space?

4. Craftsmanship: Is the artwork neat? Does it need to be cleaned up? Give a suggestion for where/how they can "clean up" their work.

5. Color: Does the artist use color well? How could s/he improve? Give a suggestion.

6. Meaning: Can you infer the meaning or story of the piece from the images or is something getting lost? Does the artist need to clarify their message? How can s/he do that?

How to Get Started:

1. Research: Screenshot at least 5 linocuts that you like. You can search instagram, tiktok, pinterest, etc. Be sure that the artists name/handle is visible. They do NOT need to be artworks you want to replicate... just art you honestly really like!

2. Resources: Start gathering image resources to create a great drawing. (A great print starts with a great drawing). Put those resources into a Google Doc and email them to me: bookers@nostoschools.org

3. Thumbnails: While drawing from resources, create at least 2 different thumbnail sketches for your idea. Show them to your peers.

4. Draft: Choose your favorite/best to turn into a detailed draft. Be sure your draft is the exact size of the printing block you will be using.

5. Critique: Show your draft to your peers. Give and take feedback. This is your last chance to make important changes.

6. Transfer: We will then transfer the image to your block. We will stain it with India ink, you will mark which areas to carve (with "x" for example), and you will get carving!

** REMINDER that everything prints backwards. If you have lettering, you need to be sure to flip your drawing before you transfer it. I will show you how to do this, do not worry!**

You *must* use resources when you're drawing. They can be the ones I provide or YOUR OWN!

You should focus on detail. If you are "done" drawing before the end of the allotted time, please add texture, background, clothes, scales, feathers, etc.

After you receive your exquisite corpse back, you can edit it to your liking. You may also choose to transfer it to final paper if you'd like :)
