It is meant for murals indoors and outdoors. You can order it in bulk from Dick Blick. The Water Based Varnish seals it in two-three coats and makes it virtually damage proof.<br /> <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/zz010/19/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dickblick.com/zz010/19/</a> </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/55#post-116 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:15:59 +0000 arttchr 116@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>The school is picking my brain on purchase of paint and supplies for mural. Any ideas? I know a good primer is in order, but other than using latex, is there a graffiti protector sealant available? </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/51#post-111 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:29:27 +0000 dawnsbrain 111@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Toulouse-Lautrec worked a great deal in lithography. Is there any change you can do a sort of printmaking technique? Maybe monoprint?

But I would like to do 3 lessons that work well together. It is for secondary level. maybe 8 or 9th grade would work best.<br /> Any suggestions would be great!<br /> My email is <a href="mailto:angelmoon1035@aol.com.">angelmoon1035@aol.com.</a><br /> Thanks so much. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/38#post-86 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 10:45:38 +0000 dawnsbrain 86@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Here: <a href="http://www.suwannee.k12.fl.us/~vfryar/altered%20books" rel="nofollow">http://www.suwannee.k12.fl.us/~vfryar/altered%20books</a></p> <p>I linked it with the text "Altered Books" above. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/38#post-85 Sat, 15 Sep 2007 08:54:27 +0000 arttchr 85@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Where is this great website? we get to alter our old texts when the new ones come in next year! </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/38#post-80 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 06:50:27 +0000 dawnsbrain 80@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>I found a great site (through a comment on my <a href="http://www.dawnsbrain.com">blog</a>) that shows many photos of student examples of altered books.

Am glad to be new to this, forgive my technology faux pas in advance. While experiencing some back to school blues, I have to complete a course outline for university prerequisite approval for 3D class. I love 3D and have been teaching it for about 5 or 6 years in addition to basic art. Sculpture, Jewelry, fused glass, recently ceramics, weaving-- you name it. I also am looking at a new Davis book that I think should help. I believe my problem is presenting the projects as design problems, I have imbedded alot of art history, yet I feel up against the old art&#38; crafts vs sculpture prejudice. any tips? </p>
