November 17, 2010: Oil Paint Collage, Part II

This week we finished our paper mache pieces. Now that they were dry, we could paint them. We rubbed oil paint on them with rags. Once they are dry, they will be hanging in the VAC Student Lounge area.

Nathan- Style Art

This was part one of a two-week process in which Nathan gave us a glimpse into his own artmaking process...

1. Start with a basic picture frame

2. Break the glass (optional)

3. Tape everything into place, minding the hooks on the back for hanging

4. Create a glue mixture (2/3 glue, less than 1/3 water), shake to mix

5. Using brushes, cover the frame in glue mixture, then in black and white printed materials (ie, newspaper), then cover in glue a second time

6. Allow to dry

Next Meeting: November 10th @ 5 pm in the VAC

"The Factory" is now on display in the student lounge (downstairs in the VAC)
