Mixed Media

In Pre-IB Art 1 students learned to mix media while creating pictures of the bicycle.  The students had to make choices about color and composition while mixing tempera and soft pastel, combining drawing with repeated patterns.

First Week Assignments in AP Art - Mixed Media

Last Friday AP Art students got their sketchbooks and we did a mixed media assignment focusing on text as a design element.

The whole class gathered around the back table filled with gesso, acrylic paint, liquid watercolors, stamps and stencils.  Students had fun playing with the different media, building up layers and creating a composition that spread across two pages in their books.

Here are a few examples from the students' books.

Check out this work by Caroline Saul. She uses plastic milk bottles to create her sculptures. Read more about her work at Art MoCo and see more pictures at her website.

I know many of you like to work with recycled and found materials, usually by adding them to a larger work of art, but what do you think about using those recycled materials for the base for your work?
