The process began with students selecting and creating photocopies of imagery they wished to incorporate into their artwork. Using clear acrylic paint, they painted over the photocopies. Once the paint dried, the paper backing was carefully removed, leaving behind a thin, flexible ink layer reminiscent of a "window cling."
These delicate transfers were then integrated into vibrant background paintings that the students had prepared beforehand. The combination of transferred imagery and hand-painted elements resulted in mixed-media collages.
This project not only taught students about the interaction between different materials but also encouraged them to think creatively about layering and composition. Each piece tells its own story through this unique blend of photocopy transfer and acrylic painting techniques!
