THE PLAN
10 sessions; 40 minutes per session
1. SWBAT create an individual artwork that has a focal point.
2. SWBAT create multiple mono-type prints using Gelli plates.
3. SWBAT combine art techniques to create one unified artwork.
4. SWBAT demonstrate drawing and shading skills.
Days 1-5: Demonstrate to students how to create a print and a ghost print using a gelli plate. Ink the plate and lay down various materials, such as feathers, yarn, etc. Pull a print, remove the items and them pull a second print, which is the ghost print. Also encourage students to layer prints on top of each other. Each day, I had students work with a different size/shape Gelli plate so they had an assortment of shapes to work with.
Days 6-10: Students take all of their prints and collage them together to make a unified artwork. Be sure to review focal points/emphasis.
See attached packet for rubric.
I used this project toward the end of the year as our last 2-D art project. My students were also required to add additional drawing/shading to their pieces, as shading was a skill we worked on ALL YEAR.
