WELCOME!

I am glad you could join us. Would you like to begin with a simple ten minute session? Actually, all our sessions are 10 minutes long. Feel free to extend that as long as you want. If you really like something you did, send me an image. I'll let you know when and where soon.

Let's have some fun.

Materials:

Strip of "paper"

• tear a piece off long and narrow
• any colors if you want, or only one
• do both sides if you want
• do part of one side
• fabric
• brown paper
• plastic paper
• something long and narrow, which isn't paper at all, but can have marks put on it with something
• piece of cereal box
• cylinder, cube, shere, or flat (2D)
• something very temporary (wet block of sand)
• something very permanent (wet cement)

Are you getting the idea?

Something to make marks with

• crayons
• pencils
• pens
• ink
• chalk
• thread
• paint
• sticks
• beads
• pebbles
• more paper (hole punches, tiny bits)
• this list is unending too
• anything you can make a mark on your "paper"

Task at Hand

(your 10 minutes of imagination becoming visible)

Make any kind of marks you want on your "paper", Cover as much as you want, but cover most of it the first time. If you want, make more than one. For instance, if you are only using crayons, color that thing. Then put it between sheets of wax paper. Then put the wax paper sandwich between paper towels. Now iron it with just enough heat to melt the colors. When it is cool, break away the leaks. You might want to save them for one of the next steps. Oops, I mean proejcts.
