Instead of carefully placing art items side by side, the
postmodern principle of Laying dictates that items are layered on top of each
other. The student could choose to either explore the medium they were layering
or focus on a theme or concept they wished to portray. These are in production…
Working with spoons on canvas over newspaper.
Layers of images in frames at different levels
Spray paint layers on transparencies
Layers of colored wax on sytophome
Layers of cut out letters on tie dye
Plaster, wax and clay
Medium gel, tissue paper, thread
I love your project but had a question about guidlines. First off, did you give them any? Was there a certain number of meiums they needed to use? Did you have them keep it in a size range or was it whatever they wanted to do? Also do you provide the materials or did they have to bring them in?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Thanks! I left the interpretation of “layering” up to the students. Some saw it as using many different media on top of each other while others decided to show the effects of one medium. There were no restrictions on size or materials. I provided materials where available but many students provided their own (i.e. the girl with the layered spoons brought in her own)
