Visual Arts Standards:• 1.5 Analyze the material used by a given
artist and describe how its use influences the meaning of the work. • 2.1 Solve a visual arts problem that involves
the effective use of the elements of art and the principles of design.• 5.2 Create a work of art that communicates
a cross-cultural or universal theme taken from literature or history.

Materials:• Copper-coated aluminum foil
(approx. 38-gauge), stylus tools, embossing molds, India ink, colored Sharpie markers

Materials:• *All students will need to provide a
functional object of their choice for this project, such as a plain picture frame, box, 3-D letter, or an empty tin can. You can make your item from scratch using chipboard or cardboard, buy something at a craft store (typically these items cost no more than a couple dollars), or repurpose an item from home.

Objectives:• To create a very detailed and
decorated design for a functional object • To use repoussé and chasing to create
a metal embossing• To work carefully with the metal so
you don’t poke a hole through it!

Metal Embossing• Embossing consists of two different
processes of shaping sheets of metal: repousse and chasing

Vocabulary:• Repousse = creating a raised relief
design on thin metal sheets by pressing from the reverse side
• Chasing = designing on the front of the work by sinking the metal (opposite of repousse)

Project Requirements:• Design includes some lettering (such as a
word or name)• Entire surface is covered with a variety of
relief designs• Metal is wrapped neatly around the object
and flaps glued carefully to the back/inside• Metal is “aged” using India ink or colored
using Sharpie marker

Today:Practice first by creating a 3” mini metal
embossing of your choice
1. Measure and draw a ½” border on a 3” square of paper
2. Draw your design in the center (may be a letter or any design of your choice)
3. Go over all lines with a black Sharpie marker so that the design shows thru on the back of the paper
