Sculptamolding VanGogh's Starry Night!

After talking with the students about how very thick VanGogh's paintings were- we made some super thick paintings starting with a layer of sculptamold over crinkled up taped down newpaper! Super Chunky and Super FUN!





Creating the understructure using newpaper and medical tape (because it was donated to us and it worked well for the project!)

Spreading the wet sculptamold over the matt board and newpaper understructure.

Painting the projects once the sculptamold was dry. I waited a couple days to make sure that the sculptamold was good and dry. The students pallets were limited to metalic silver, gold, pink, blue, and flat blue and yellow.

Check out the results!

All of the individual Artworks have been submitted to Artsonia under the King's Daughers' School and should be up within a few days!

More Mona's...

Since Artsonia won't post these I am... Note I do have releases in student files here at school that give permission to the school to take photos of the students. It's all good! Artsonia will not however publish these because they do contain images of students under the age of 18. I don't blame them.

Press Release

So many of you may already know about this amazing website for art teachers and parents called Artsonia. It is a site that allows teachers to post student artwork images on the web not only at no cost but will print those images on items such as t-shirts, mugs, magnets, you name it they will print it on there! Plus the school who's image is being bought on your item of choice receives a percentage of the profits! I have heard from other teacher friends that this has not been profitable for them, but I still think it is very cool to publish the work online for free so that students and parents can go there at any time and see the students' artwork. Particularly for the school that I work at, I have some parents that currently live in other states and even outside of the country.
