Paint, print, layer, and scrape to produce vibrant, creative papers for scrapbooks, greeting cards, collages, gift wrap, book making, and decorating surfaces.

This book teaches the reader to think of a photograph as a canvas for a wide range of artistic manipulation and coloring techniques. Once upon a time, you hesitated to even take scissors to a photo (even an imperfect one) because if you lost its negative, you’d also lose that moment in time forever. In this day of digital images and photo printers for the home computer, photographs are easily duplicated, so you never have to be concerned about preserving printed photos. You can cut, color, collage, and camouflage to your heart’s content. The photo is now an art medium that can be altered physically or digitally to create all kinds of effects.

How to use painting mediums such as acrylic, watercolor, oil paint, ink, tempera, and pastels in combination with glazes, gesso, wax, and other materials for use in collages, scrapbooks, memory boxes, photo albums, and individual art pieces.

Born in the Dakota land to a farming family, a handicapped child was forced to find another way in life. This is the story of a gifted artist and teacher whose existence was filled with circular paths and with perseverance. He survived wit a witty-- sometimes corny--comedic sense, and within the shadow of a palace made or corn.

Activities show how to incorporate shape, form, texture, and color into two- and three-dimensional works of art using various adhesives (glue, rubber cement, etc.) and other media (chalk, markers, paints, etc.). Techniques include printmaking, collage, batiking without wax, and sculpting.
