TALKING TILESGetting To Know You…a problem solving process

CHOOSE YOUR TILES…• Select an arrangement

that shares a Pattern

• You will need to be creative and put together something

that works for you

• Make sure your arrangement has substantial pieces

ADHERE ONE BACKGROUND TO EACH TILE…

• Music Sheets Handmade Papers

• Text from Books Travel Maps

• Gift Wrapping Tissues Stamps

• Telephone Pages (white or yellow) Comics

• Fabric Scraps Wall Papers

• Napkin, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper Nature (petals, leaves)

• Magazine Images Shopping Bags

• Universal Photos Newspaper Clippings

• Decorative Papers Paint Swatches

USING MODGE PODGEPlace a couple sheets of newspaper under your tiles while you are working for easy clean-up.

While using your back ground papers be mindful of the scraps…save them in a zip-lock.

Edges can be torn (ripped)or cut.

Modge Podge goes under and over the images.

BACKGROUND SAMPLES…

ADDING COLOR WASHES…

Act as though each tile is a separate canvas…what colors will you add? Do you know the meaning? Water down Acrylic and use a rag to control amount. (handout provided)

After final layer coat with modge podge to seal.

EVERYTHING SHOULD RELATE TO YOU…

MAKE A CONNECTION• Take one individual tile at a time and be creative. Do what comes naturally but vary your mediums. I will be looking for experimentation and creativity.

• Each tile is a separate entity. Don’t work with the intent to match.

• Express yourself and show me what you can do!
