Customized Sketchbook Cover - Resin Filled - theartroject

I always make the cover of my sketchbook my own. I am not usually this involved in it. recently I have started experimenting with resin. When I started getting close to the end of my last sketchbook I started thinking about how I could manipulate the cover of my new sketchbook with resin. Here is the result. I saw a lot of resin art online and thought I'd give it a try. some of the stuff I saw were wood and resin or concrete and resin, resin tables, resin casting and resin jewelry. This is a lot simpler than all that.

Prismacolor Sticks Portrait Drawing on an on X-RAY Envelope

A couple of years ago I went to the chiropractor. I had some standard procedure x-rays done and on a whim, I asked for copies. I saved them all these years and today I drew a portrait using prismacolor sticks, of a student of mine named Keanu on the manilla envelope the X-rays came in. I decide the blue wasn't dark enough in some spots so I mixed in black prisma stick. Made a video and here it is.

Portrait drawing with a fork!

I did an ink drawing with a fork. it was fun. I have been drawing with kids in class for a while. They need to see me working. they see how the artist works. I teach an AP Studio Art Drawing class. We discuss things like mark-making. Mark making is pretty important when it comes to art. your marks are as unique as your fingerprints. every artist has their way of laying down marks and no matter how much you learn from another teacher your marks will always be uniquely yours. So learn everything you can from other artists, but also pursue the art of unique mark-making. With that being said this drawing was fun fun fun. I was in class. we were doing a lesson on Jim Dine and I was explaining superfluous marks. and the energy that comes from them. I was discussing how marks need to be confident and intentional, but lose and spontaneous. A plastic fork was in my desk drawer and it became the new object of my affection. I put up some drawing paper, got out a reference photo I had taken of one of my students a few days earlier, drew his contours and then filled in the shadows with a plastic fork or a "super cross-hatcher" however you want to look at it. Here's the video.

Making a Pinch Pot - theartproject

I did this little demonstration with some art appreciation students, I also had an assistant make a pinch pot with us and so there are two different views in the video. Students love this assignment and I almost always have 100% engagement. I didn't embellish or decorate in the video. but after making the pinch pots we did push some stamps and other textures into the clay pots. and of course, later we will fire and glaze them. Let me know if you try and it and how yours turn out.

Making art for the sake of it.

I have been trying to upgrade the quality of the videos that I make on youtube. and it has been motivational to make more art. Not just make more art but be less apprehensive about making art and more relaxed in the process. I think for a while I was so worried I wasn't making something legitimate that I stopped making it at all. but now I realize it doesn't have to win awards, it just has to be done. It just has to be fun. I have to make it or it will never be award-winning. furthermore, it won't exist. I have to make it exist. So with that said here is a video I did of me making a chickadee block print.

If you want one send me a message or comment. Please subscribe to my youtube channel: youtube.com/theartproject . please go and like and comment on the video. Thanks
