In queste settimane sto lavorando come volontaria al dipartimento di Arte della Sir Thomas Picton Secondary School ad Haverfordwest e sto osservando e imparando molte nuove tecniche, lezioni, sistemi educativi e strumenti per la didattica, dagli insegnanti di Arte di questo dipartimento, Ms. Diana Brook e Mr. Lee Phillips. Ho fatto alcune fotografie al lavoro della studentessa del 10° anno Zoe Bevans: mi è piaciuta la sua idea di stampare le impronte di foglie su un fondo di inchiostro nero, dopo averle pennellate con candeggina. L’effetto è davvero interessante!
Trovo molto interessante confrontarmi con metodologie, tecniche e sistemi di insegnamento diversi da quelli italiani. Per prima cosa devo confermare che la creatività è molto valorizzata nelle scuole del Regno Unito dove “Learning is experience” (vi consiglio il blog Mens Sana dove si elencano le 9 competenze necessarie ai nostri ragazzi per affrontare il futuro…).
Effetto particolare con una tecnica semplice!Sono ancora più interessata rispetto alla didattica nel Regno Unito.Tank for sharing your "experiences" :)francep.s.: ricevuta la mail?
These are beautiful. Is she just using india ink and bleach on water color paper?Thank you for sharing,Anne USA, Dallas Texas
Yes, it is just black ink and pure bleach… just be careful to use two different paintbrushes and watch out for clothes! thank you for your comment!
Hi Miriam….the black ..is that acrylic paint or printing ink? ANd must the ink/paint be dry before you place the bleached leaf down? thanks ..love you posts
Miriam I have just seen your post in May saying it was black ink! Sorry…but is it primting ink like you would use in lino prints, or acrylic /writing ink and would this work with acrylic paints?
Hi! The ink that we used is the black indian ink (for example “winsor & newton” ink), The one you usually use for fountain pens (have a look at my post http://arteascuola-miriampaternoster.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/written-with-rainbow.html )The ink is still liquid: you apply the liquid ink with a brush and you can immediately use the bleach on it (sorry for my english, perhaps it’s not correct!)if you have any other question please, tell me!Thanks
Hi Miriam, your blog is fantastic! You've given me so many good ideas for my middle schoolers. They are going to love this stuff! Thanks for posting
Hi!! Thank for your comment! I'm very happy to share my ideas with other teachers! If you have a blog tell me, so I can follow your student's works and Your work!! I'm a middle school teacher too, I know how is difficult to work with teenagers!!! Keep in touch
Je trouve que l’idée est excellente pour faire obtenir de beaux résultats par des enfants qui doivent en être très fiers. Moi qui ne suis pas une enfant, je me dis que si je fais cela sur des petits carrés à raison d’une feuille par carré et que je colle les petits carrés les uns près des autres avec un espace entre deux, j’obtiendrai de quoi faire une grande et originale carte à envoyer à une amie. Merci pour l’idée !!!
