8th Grade Transforms and Transfers Images into More

Students used inkjet photos, watercolor paper, a folding tool, and gel medium (non-toxic) to transfer pristine photos into grainy reinterpretations of the original. Students found that the process required pre-soaked paper and a lot of patience to get a satisfying end result. All were amazed each time the transferred image was revealed.

8th grade students were introduced to the process of transferring photographs from a printed copy onto watercolor paper. In the coming weeks students will begin transferring photos onto light muslin cloth that can be sewn onto tote-bags, t-shirts, pillows, and more; all in preparation for the spring repurposed fashion show.
