WHO'S GOT THE SAUCE?


COLLAGE BOXES WITH STAMPED TISSUE & WIRE PENDANTS
7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 2015-2016 - 3RD QUARTER
recycled jewelry boxes & tissue paper, Modge Podge, reused hand cut rubber stamps,
craft wire & a special something for pendant

I have a tendency to call anything liquid sauce;
Suntan lotion, Modge Podge, Sawdust glue for clay, etc.
Hence,
"I'm going to sauce myself up for the pool", or
"You need more sauce under your tissue paper",
and so forth.

I buy Modge Podge "sauce" by the gallon,
and between all my classes we probably go thru at least $500 a year,
possibly more.
But it's the best product I've found for collage.
The trick is to use it under whatever you are collaging down, 
then over it.
So let's see what these kids sauced. 

This first one is so much fun 
and was made by Ayaan Ekram,
a very "creative" young man.

Leanne Alcoy used a really beautiful colorway plus touches of gold randomly placed
which brings a bit of movement into the design.
And super clever how she angled the sides of her white text paper.
Love it Leanne!

With Jack Manalo & Loren Kim we also see inside their boxes to their lovely pendants.
This assignment was 3 projects in one:
Collaged Boxes, Stamped Tissue and Wire Pendants.
They learned a lot plus they ended up with a great gift to give.

Enedina  Hu Loera used a Cool or Analogous color scheme.
She brings in a positive message,
and her tissue paper stamping is fabulous.

7th graders,
can you name the patterns she put together?
Alternating Stamps as well as Colors, 
Mirroring & Regular Repeat.
WOW!!!

  1. Trick indeed, as anyone who has ever used Mod podge knows. I'm always impressed with how sharp and clean the boxes in this project look. No easy feat!

    And I love peering more closely at the text ... trying to see what might be learned from the words ... wondering about the choices that were made.
