Gelli Plate Printing Extras! (Part 2) (These demonstrations are bonus projects from Gelli Plate Printing by Joan Bess, copyright 2014.) Woven Strips To create this piece, several prints were put through a shredder that cuts paper into 1/4″ strips. If you don’t have access to that type of shredder, simply cut thin strips with an craft blade on a cutting mat or use a paper cutter. Art Education and Teaching Art Gelli Plate: Intaglio-Inspired Printing (This tutorial was previously published in the book Gelli Plate Printing by Joan Bess, copyright 2014; republished here courtesy of North Light Books and CreateMixedMedia.com.) Intaglio (pronounced in-TAL-ee-oh) prints are created from an etched plate that’s been inked and wiped so that all that remains is the ink in the incised areas. An inked plate is covered with printing paper and put through a press, which pushes the paper into the grooves to transfer the ink, creating the print. The Gelli print adaptation is inspired by intaglio printing and does not use a press. Materials list Gelli plate and brayeracrylic paintpaper for printingstyrofoamballpoint penduct tapescraper

AccessArt: Visual Arts Teaching, Learning & Practice Creative Kickstart: Spark Your Creative Fire *A guest post by Art Journal Kickstarter artist Jessica Sporn. Do you ever sit down to create, but find you’re stuck? When I don’t have a clear project or idea in mind, I need to get my hands working and full of paint or ink to get my inspiration going. Working in an altered book, that already has text and imagery in it, is a great place to start, because you don’t have to stare down a blank page! A light coat of gesso, some stamps and stencils, are all you need to start making marks and patterns.

Where Are You on the Choice Spectrum? Magazine / Where Are You on the Choice Spectrum? Participants in our Choice Based Art Education class walk through three really important processes. Discovering where they stand today on the “Choice Spectrum.”Making a strategic decision about where they’d like to stand on the spectrum or what colors they would mix.Planning the process of reaching that goal in a way that fits their style, their school, and their students. Even if you can’t join us for the class, I wanted you to take a peek at the brand new AOE Choice Spectrum. This spectrum combines major choice-based philosophies (some dating back to the 1800s) from both the art education and general education worlds into a simple unified guide, to help you envision your ideal art room and how choice can be strategically integrated into your art curriculum.
