I could NEVER! Oil based media in the high school classroom

Thursday October 17, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm EDT

I'll share best practices for teaching oil based media in a classroom, focusing on how to use thrifted equipment such as picture frames for ink slabs or pallets, donated t-shirts for rags, and donated jars for cleanup. Using baby oil and simple green for cleanup, phone books for blotting tools, and dollar tree table cloths, we manage oil based printing and painting in 55 minute periods.

Purple Classroom (High Museum)

Get a new perspective on an old classroom staple - tempera! This workshop will enhance your painting skills and introduce you to the range of techniques possible with Blick Premium Tempera. It’s lightfast, versatile, easy to work with, and performs many of the same techniques as watercolor, gouache, and acrylics. We’ll create washes and layers, learn reduction techniques, and employ a variety of painting knives and tools. Take away a “painting in pieces”, some great supplies, and a new appreciation for the tempera medium.

Blue Classroom (High Museum)

Teachers will engage in 10 mini lessons of journal prompts that will align with various technical skills and media explorations in their units of study in the Drawing & Painting classroom. This prepares students to have full and dynamic portfolios, and uses mini lessons to help drive home the bigger technical lessons that the teacher's unit focuses on.
