The “Meat and Potatoes” of Relief Printmaking (Spring 2014)<\/u><\/p>\n

In this series, Chatham High School students were familiarized with the “meat and potatoes”\u00a0of relief printmaking, i.e. history, process and key concepts. Focusing on a theme of idioms,\u00a0students were asked to be free-thinking in their approach to the concept, as they were challenged to incorporate themes of humor and current events, when possible.\u00a0\u00a0After 6 weeks in the studio, students gained a firm grasp of the process of relief printing; they began understanding the importance of planning, carving, mark making, printing, and editioning, and the juxtaposition of boldness and flatness of relief prints. Additionally, they learned about reduction\/multiple block printing, and possibilities for taking printmaking beyond paper. In the spirit of printmaking\u2019s connectivity to distribution and sense of community, we concluded the print workshop with a print exchange, in which each student received a portfolio of their work alongside that of their peers’.<\/p>\n

Number of Students: 14 Juniors\/Seniors<\/p>\n

Size of Exchange: 15 prints (14 students + teacher)<\/p>\n

Her\u00a0print work\u00a0<\/a><\/span>has been sold in stores along the East Coast and featured on Fox News, Apartment Therapy and in Philadelphia Magazine. \u00a0Her passion for art is evident in her strong desire to share her knowledge with others. \u00a0She has taught all ages from 1-90 and continues to share the joyous experience of art making with others.<\/p>\n

The ALC is cosponsoring a new after-school workshop at Chatham High School aimed at teaching art students about human anatomy. The 6-week course, part of the AP Art Portfolio Development series, is being taught this fall by Ukrainian artist Ivan Bratko.\u00a0Students are constructing model skeletons by molding Sculpey clay over a wire armature. The goal is to give the students a foundation for depicting the human form in their artwork.<\/p>\n

The workshop, which is free to the students, is funded in equal parts by ALC and the CHS National Art Honor Society. The program was initiated by Philla Barkhorn, CHS\u00a0liaison for the\u00a0ALC, and is\u00a0overseen by art\u00a0teacher Eric\u00a0Hreha.<\/p>\n
