Jeannie went to a Rauschenberg workshop and came back with lots of
new ideas (Robert
Rauschenberg). Students extended the project with various collage
and painting techniques. Shown are just a few of the
examples. Basketball figures are printed on a painted jersey background.
Football players are mounted on multiple layers of construction paper
then glued to a football background. Seated figure combines Rauschenberg
style painting with transfer images. The figure is printed both on the
inside and outside of a piece of Plexiglas covering the work.

For this printing project, Jeannie chose a theme of figures. She took
digital pictures of students in their desired pose. The students drew
the pose then transferred the drawing to linoleum. Negative spaces were
cut away using a variety of different patterns. Faces were deliberately
left without detail. After printing several prints the traditional way, students
were given the "challenge" to extend the project. Many different results were obtained - some are
shown below. See Lesson Plan for details.
Jeannie's ceramic projects were inspired by a post
made to Getty Teacher Art Exchange List Serve. These lessons were well
received by her students. Shown is a Pop Art hamburger (see work of Cleas
Oldenburg) painted with acrylics. The tile project has both carved
and added relief. It can be glued to a base board then filled with
grout. Various decorating options could be used - glazing, underglazing
or painting. The hand project gives a great opportunity to learn about
the style of an artist of interest. This student chose to decorate his
hand in the style of Mondrian. A lesson plan on sculpting hands can be
found on the Utah Museum of Fine Arts site - Rodin:
