“Transparent Ikebana II”
Age – Middle School, High School and Adults
Using a hot melt glue and parchment paper as the primary materials,the class will involve various recycled transparent materials, to create flowers and assemble them into a bouquet of translucent blooms. It is an opportunity to rediscover the aspect of hot melt glue traditionally from useful tools to a sculptural medium.
Students are encouraged to bring transparent/translucent materials from everyday such as plastic fruit containers, plastic bags, bubble wrap. It’s a bonus if you find plastics that has cool patterns or features!
By assembling these materials, we will explore layered textures, transparency and translucency, as well as the aesthetic of negative space.
