Suminagashi is Japanese for floating ink.
Artist of the Week is Rose who used this process to create the background for her ocean themed linoleum print.
Relief printmaking is one of the more basic types and requires a raised inked surface. By removing areas from a material that you don’t want to be inked and inking only raised areas, you can easily transfer the image onto a surface. This process dates back to 200 A.D.
There will be no school on Thursday, November 14, due to state volleyball.
Send off for the volleyball team will be Wednesday afternoon at 3:30pm.
Stay tuned for more information regarding purchase of tickets and game times.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!

ARTIST OF THE WEEK-Larriana Taggart is this week's featured artist. Intermediate art students were asked to create an image in Reverse draw. Typically paper is white and you add dark values. This concept builds a student's drawing skills by inverting the image with black paper and white values. Larriana is holding her final drawing of an owl with a full moon.
