Play and Process Based Art. Hi! I'm Alison Rae, a Play and Process Based Artist and Art Enrichment Educator for children and adults. I am a professionally trained Studio Artist with a Masters in Art Education. I am the owner of The Art Crate, a Mobile Art Enrichment Studio. I have sold and shown and taught my ways for over 20 years.
Obsessed with making messes, I use weird and wacky finds to make and teach a very hands on Art approach. Recycled materials, imaginative ideas, and pushing the limits of traditional Art Making ideas found in most learning environments is my focus, along with making and celebrating all the mistakes along the way.
Learning through Play and Process Art, allows the freedom to explore, take risks, imagine, build new skills, and practice humor, while leaving laughter in the air.
I'm sharing my process here with the hope to inspire you to make, create, share and explore on your own through Art making, Art exploring, and Art Teaching.

Thanks for sharing
Thank you for making this tutorial. I love watching people craft and explain how to do it. The watching other ppl craft is part of my process 😂❤😂
Thanks so much! Great tutorial! If you want to sew some beads or buttons for embellishment When can you do it? When it's still wet?
Great! That might take some experimenting. The fabric gets pretty hard in the recycled container mold when dry. Sewing might be a challenge. You could glue embellishments on after the piece dries though, with a stronger glue, or if you are set on sewing, you could also sew them into a different piece of fabric, and not apply it like we did in the tutorial, let the piece dry first and maybe just attach it after by applying the glue on one side of the sewn embellished fabric only, if that makes sense. Let us know what you discover!
@@theartcrate I 'll experiment and will tell you!
I love this tutorial! Going to give it a whirl~🎉
Yeah! Thank you.
I love it! Please, post a step by step tutorial
Yes, I'd love a complete turorial, please!

Would love to see a full length video.
Full length is posted. Step by Step. Try it!
I'm so impressed! You have some mad skills. People don't realize it takes talent to paint loose and flowing. I tend to get too rigid and overwork my piece. You've inspired me to keep trying. Thank you.
Yes, Yes, step by step please!
Step by Step is posted! Try it! You will love it.
I wish it will be slower I never seen this before, they are beautiful love the results

Step by Step was just posted. I'm currently playing with textiles and paint on canvas. I'll get some results posted.
Wrap bowl in cling wrap, using white glue that dries clear or mod podge, glue fabric bits to bowl. When dry, remove bowl, peel off cling wrap and there you go. Seems easy enough but haven’t tried it myself.
Yes! You got it. Check out the Step by Step I just posted. Easy Peasy!

Can you use decoupaged
Hi! You can but glue is much cheaper. It takes quite a bit of glue!
LOVE these! Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad to hear that. So fun and easy! Unique results each time!
Cool textures! What kind of ink or paint are you using here?
Thanks! Acrylic Paint.
@@theartcrate thansk. Really? It looks like something else here!
I like it ❤
Thanks!
Loved seeing your mixed media process. Love 😍 the painting. I am a watercolorist & portraitist. I am bored with just WC & want to start mixed media pieces. Layers, layers, layers.. 👍🏽 Subscribed. I'm rehabbing wild raccoons & love doing their portraits in ink. I want to do wildlife & nature mixed media. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome! I love the process of layers, layers, layers! Thank you for Subscribing too! Wildlife and Nature Mixed Media sounds Amazing. Do it!
I love hearing the backstory of your materials. Your joy and enthusiasm really comes through.
Thank you so much! Yeah!
Cool fish prints! Lucky you found those old fish molds. I've heard people actually buy a whole fish to use for printing this way. I can't imagine it's edible after that! What we'll do for art!
I thought about how this would work with real fish as I was doing this! Stinky. I wonder if the Print comes out better and with more texture. Thanks for watching!
Loved this video! Fun artwork and enjoyed your feline apprentices! ❤
Kitties love to Art! Thank you!
Fantastic style! Gorgeous 🤩
Glad you like it! It's a great lesson in staying loose.
New Subscriber, your channel popped up on my feed today. As a new you tuber I like to support new Multi Media creators. TFS🤙❤

I have a question. How to you get your videos up loaded so that they start full screen when you turn to landscape. Mine won’t!!! I use CapCut and I use 16:9 but it still won’t! Can you help me? Your videos are good
I record in Landscape on my iPhone through OBS on my computer. I use CapCut too in 16:9.
