Project# 8: Personal PhotoTransfer Collage
Discussion Questions:
Reminisce about things the community does that brings up great memories for all such as the fair or carnival.
Discuss individual memories.
Compare their memories to Annie Leibovitz work.
Compare and contrast memories with other artwork discussed throughout this unit.
Activity:
Have students bring old photos to school to help tell these stories. Have students write about these memories and create drawings in their sketchbook so that they can reflect on ideas. Using the images they bring in to school, make copies of the photos and return them to the students.
Using the old photos, writings and sketches from their sketchbooks have students create a work of art that expresses these childhood memories. Spend time working with various photo transfer techniques. The students will need to use photo transfers for the images, drawings from memory and mindless writings to complete this project. The work can be created on most any surface, but sheets of tin or painted wood panels are ideal.
Materials: magazines, sketchbooks, clear tape, scissors, warm water, darkroom developing or flat tray, graphite, glue or gel medium, tin or wood panels, paint and brushes
Assessment: How was the student able to connect their childhood to the artistic expression of a phototransfer piece? How did the student relate to Annie Leibovitz?
