1. Introduce lesson with PowerPoint of images and background information and history of repoussé. Pass around samples, allow students to feel the metal.
2. Demonstrate how to push and pull the metal on padded felt or cardboard using stylus sticks. Go over safety procedure using the sharp metal sheets and precautions to prevent damage to the metal.
3. Show example of patterns, encourage students to be creative but keep patterns simple.
4. Students begin their artwork tooling their metal.
5. Demonstrate how to continue their patterns to the background card stock.
6. Students will have a multitude of choices in how to present their artwork:
• On white background
• On black background
• Antiqued metal effect
• Keep plain
• Color with permanent markers
7. Use gold/silver/or black sharpies to continue design to background.
Do the actual textures/patterns of the metal match to the visual texture/patterns of the background?
When creating the textures on the metal were they pushed from both sides?
Do you have areas that are level, pushed down, and pushed up? Are these areas deep and worked enough?
Is the project neat?
