MODULE 4

Individual Art activity

Create your own coffee art.
Coffee art is a new way of introducing coffee as medium in making an artwork, (painting, drawing,
sketching and printing) Coffee can be consider as indigenous medium. Coffee art is the same with
water color painting. Its procedure is almost the same.

Materials needed:

Coffee

Water

Water color paint brush

Water color paper/oslo paper

Masking tape

Process:

The paper should be protected from excess and accidental coffee spills along the edges; masking tape
will provide protection. Affix masking tape to all four sides of the watercolor or Oslo paper. Begin
working with coffee art by painting desired images that best reflect your feelings, drawing
inspiration from your surroundings. The brushstrokes you employ will also reflect your emotions at
that particular time. Complete the coffee art by carefully removing the masking tape from the paper's
edges and mounting it onto a 1/8 llustration board. If fixative is available, spray it onto the watercolor
paper and allow it to dry. This procedure will safeguard the artwork from smudging in case of
accidental spills or contact with liquid elements."
