Unit 2: Relationships
Relationship Popplet
Portraiture: Printmaking
Design Problem:
TSW create a series of original prints from one print plate to depict an important relationship.
I chose to represent the relationship between my mother and I. I chose the picture of a mother putting her face on her daughter because to me it represents a mother that cares for her child and that is exactly what my mother does. I chose to put a heart above it because my mother gives so much love to me and my family.
How do I create Printmaking?
Option 1: Collograph and Frottage
1. TSW make a simple drawing on cardboard or cardstock of an important RELATIONSHIP
2. TSW add at least three layers of cardboard or cardstock for dimension to create a matrix for printing
3. TSW use a brayer and printing ink to produce a series of 3 prints from the matrix
4. TSW clean the matrix after printing and use it to produce one or more crayon rubbings (frottage prints)
Option 2: Faux Drypoint with Hand Coloring
1. TSW make a simple drawing of an important RELATIONSHIP on thin paper (approx. 6” x 9”)
2. TSW tape drawing to Scratch foam of the same size and trace over the lines with pencil to incise the image into the face of the Scratch foam. This produces a matrix.
4. TSW register the matrix to print paper with painter’s tape.
5. Using water-based markers, TSW color the matrix, section by section, and print image onto the print paper. Matrix will be cleaned and process repeated with new colors to create a second print.
Reflection:
How did the studio lesson relate to the given Big Idea?
The Printmaking Portraiture relates to the big idea of relationships because we were instructed to depict an important relationship using printmaking. With the Collograph and Frottage we were supposed to produce a series of 3 prints from the matrix. The three prints represent the different ways the same relationship can look like. In my first print it portrays that my mother and I relationship can be a little messy, in the second print it portrays that our relationship can be perfect at times, and in the third print it portrays that our relationship can be over joyed.
How might you employ visual art integration utilizing the studio lesson in your own classroom?
I would employ visual art integration utilizing the Printmaking Portraiture in my own classroom by having the students write about the relationship they chose to in their Writer's Notebooks. I could integrate the printmaking into History and have them create a portraiture of someone from the History lesson that we are learning. In order to create a good classroom community I could have my students each make a printmaking portraiture to represent themselves and then we could put them all on one big paper and hang it in the classroom so represent that we all belong in the classroom community.

Pop-Up Homes and Habitats: Mixed Media
Design Problem:
Create an imaginary house/home that they could “carry with them all the times".
I chose to make me house with the front looking like doors and they can be opened. My house and family is always having people over and our house is open to everyone. Inside I drew my mom, brother, dad, and myself. We are very close and always there for each other. I wrote HOME at the bottom in colorful letters because my family is bright and joyful.
How do I create Pop-Up?
1. Get a sheet of paper.
2. Fold it in half, short sides together.
3. Make two cuts. Make these about 1 inch (3 cm) long. The cut should be made in from the folded edge of the card in order to make a flap. You can make your cuts deeper or more widely spaced if you wish; this is just a good starting pop-up.
4. Crease the pop-up. Fold the flap over on to the front, and then fold it on to the back of the card. Open the card and push the flap up toward you. Pinch the middle to crease it.
5. Decide what you want to pop up
Reflection:
How did the studio lesson relate to the given Big Idea?
The Mixed Media Pop-Up Homes and Habitats relates to the big idea of relationships because the relationship we have with our home defines who we are. The idea that you could carry this replica with you everywhere you went to remind you of home is a great idea. If you have a strong relationship with your family and a positive experience with your home then when you see it again you are reminded of all those great times. The same goes if you have a negative experience with your home. The idea that your home can "pop-up" where every you need it can be a way to help gather creativity or inspire you.
How might you employ visual art integration utilizing the studio lesson in your own classroom?
I would employ visual art integration utilizing the Mixed Media Pop-Up Homes and Habitats in my own classroom by having the students make pop-ups of their homes. The pop-up idea can be used with lots of subjects. I could have the students make a pop up of a famous person that we are learning about in Social Studies, or a pop-up that shows the lesson we are currently learning in Math. The students could also write a story or explain what their pop-up home is made of and why they chose what they did. I could have the students switch their pop-ups with classmates and then have the other person write a story using that pop-up.
