Hi everyone. I am almost finished with my residency with the adorable first graders in Sunset Park. For the past two weeks they have been drawing and collaging like crazy in order to finish their squares for the Family Memory Quilt. Since The Adorables were working on shape and pattern in math, I decided to integrate that into the quilt by having them make drawings and collages about patterns. They LOVEd creating patterns. We chanted patterns together and then they just took off with their drawings of patterns. I had them work with black marker on white paper and then with chalk on black paper.
After they made their drawings, they made black paper collages on acetate.
Here are some on my lightbox:
Then I shot them onto the cyanotype fabric and developed them in my bathroom. Here are my cats checking out the prints:
Oh! I just heard my timer go off. Time to develop more prints. Stay tuned . . .
