The second meeting of GRANDMOTHERS in an enlarged group. This time the task is more difficult than painting on water. The inspiration was the painting of the American artist Mrs. Heather Galler. Not everyone treated the subject literally, but the principle of separating the color with a black line and filling the colored fields with small elements has been tried. I have conducted the same topic in different age groups and in different techniques. Painting on glass in a small 20x20cm format turned out to be the most difficult solution

I prepared drawings of “theoretical cities” in which I incorporated architectural monuments. Students were to recognize the monuments and add color to the shape. On the reverse of the page, they wrote the names of the monuments. This project was intended to consolidate students’ knowledge about the visited region of Poland. Other elements could be “colored” according to their own concept.

The first stage of the project was to learn the principles of the central perspective. FISH – unknown species appeared in aquariums from the imagination. Silhouettes of peoples was cut out by each of the authors from the prepared prints and placed in the right places in perspective.

This technique arises in secret. We cannot observe the formation of “swirls and plumes”.
Twine impregnated with paint moves between two layers of paper pressed to the ground.
The string getting out of this trap leaves colorful traces of its escape on both layers of paper. Our project was to leave one of the twin images intact and transform the other into a 3d mosaic. Authors at the age of 7-8 years.
