There’s a scene of ship-an outline in found metal-in a storm at sea. Several walls of painted sculptural reliefs are of a whitish or light-colored material. Jerome pulling a splinter out of a lion’s paw, all inside a frame that seems designed for stained glass. Another plays on a Christian motif, with a young St. The first works by Saeed that we see are painting-sized “gates” welded in steel frames, one of a bull with a toreador under its feet that looks like a wire drawing imagined by Alexander Calder. There’s also a gruesome 1854 print by Felix Bracquemond of moles killed by farmers hanging from a tree like trophies of war. As you enter the show, a “cave” rimmed with transparent curtains shows a selection of animal images from the Clark’s collection-tigers in a drawing by Eugene Delacroix, an etching of St. It’s about animals reclaiming the landscape. You can take the show’s title at its word. Saeed, 47, who lives in Berlin, works in multiple styles and multiple media. Photo by T Clark courtesy of the artist Jacky Strenz, Frankfurt. Polystyrene foam, steel, plaster, acrylic, paint, wood. With distancing guidelines, six humans at a time can visit Saeed’s’ first museum exhibition that runs through October 25. “We’ve never confronted this problem before, so unfortunately we’re not showing it with hazelnuts,” he said.Īt the Clark’s 140 acres in Williamstown, Mass., three hours’ drive from New York City, creatures of all sorts are still coming. Most museum visitor services departments don’t monitor bear appetites on a 24-hour camera.

My favorite way of block printing is to use easy-cut rubber blocks that more closely mimic the process of using linoleum and wood but is still easy enough for an elementary-age student to cut (with close supervision). See the supplies list at the bottom of this post for recommendations and links. You’ll have better results with these and you don’t have to worry about chopping up the plates. I recommend using ink because the results will be much cleaner! Instead of using a plate, you can also buy packs of foam printing plates for this same purpose in a variety of sizes. Try it a few times first so you know exactly the right process before you have the kiddos do it as this can sometimes not work well if you don’t push down hard enough or use paint instead of printing ink. Then put your paper on top, press down over the whole surface of the paper with the back of a spoon or a roller, and then lift the paper off. Next, spread printing ink (or even some tempera paint thinned just a bit with some water) over the surface of the foam using a paintbrush or roller (see more tips about spreading the ink below). Make sure the lines you draw are pressed deep into the foam for the best results. One way is just taking a Styrofoam plate, cutting off the rim so you end up with a flat disk, and carving/drawing on it with a dull pencil, a stick, or a ballpoint pen. This is the cheapest way to do a block print and the safest and most accessible for young children. Foam printing involves drawing deep lines into Styrofoam and using ink or paint to transfer this image onto paper.
