[Alt-photo] gum tip

[Christina Anderson]

Dear List,

Too busy a semester to post but relief is now in sight, with summer!

I wanted to share a student tip on gum. If you go to the URL below, there is a print that Jordyn Wohler did. She shared that she was able to erase a gum layer with a white eraser (like a Mars Staedtler) after it was DRY. You can see from this image, she was doing so between the flowers so you can see how complex that would be. Like the Jack Brubaker Scotch Brite pad tip, this is now the Jordyn Wohler tip. 

Also at the same URL is a casein print, only the second or third, done by another student, Sara Kremer. I taught gum as usual this year but am now introducing casein in the second week of gum (they have 4 weeks on gum, which I find really gives them time to learn the process) so they can choose to do one or both and compare. I mix up a batch of casein and have it in the dimroom for them and they tend to think it is "just another colloid" like gum, which it is and...isn't. Sara's first print of a peacock in casein was also lovely.

Student successes are what makes teaching so worthwhile!

This week I get to finally get back in the dimroom and do some Family of Origin in casein. Very excited!
