 Hello Dear Artists, For the project this Friday, we are going to make Radial Paper Relief Sculptures. I have attached the instructions and samples of the paper sculptures. It would be good to start early this week and have your materials ready to start the class but not absolutely necessary. If you have any questions or issues with folding the origami, please contact me anytime. Let’s have fun!

Project: Tree Collage It seems I am always drawn to projects involving trees, but this artist’s work is so compelling, I couldn’t help myself! As always, these instructions are merely suggestions and inspiration!

 Hi everyone! Attached are various animal templates you can enlarge or minimize and print to use as a template for the Iris folding class on Feb 6.   Also photos of my process. Sorry the pics are all mixed up-- my phone and computer are not talking human.  Or if you would like send a picture(s) of your pets to me and I can set up a template to send back to you. Or you can ask AI for a template of whatever…. 1.  For the template for class you should use a a heavy card stock like paper.  I like using the size of 8  1/2 x 11 for a template with a smaller stencil.  Too small of a template, I think is harder to do. Remember to use an exacto knife and only cut stencil.  Save stencil.  2.  Do #1 and then cut out a larger stencil  (1/16" to 1/8" larger) of a nice  paper to frame your work. 3.  Write back to back side of white template.  4.  On the stencil (dog cut out) start penciling in lines and numbers and ...

  One Point Perspective - Linda D. 01-23-26   Art Activity for January 23, 2026   “One Point Perspective”   In this activity I will explain how to draw basic forms using a single vanishing point.Then we will design the interior of a room.   Materials Needed:   > PENCIL with sharp point or mechanical pencil > RULER > ERASER (one that will not smudge graphite)   > PAPER(Several sheets needed for practice. Since there may be a lot of erasing a heavier paper will work well or even card-stock.)   Optional: For the finished drawing you may add color with any media or you may just work with pencil.   There are two attachments. > The first one: a.Gives a definition of linear perspective. ( It says it is a mathematical technique. Rest assured we will not be doing any math.) b.Shows a simple diagram. c. Gives a you-tube link to a demonstration. We will not be duplicating what is done in the demo. You will l...
