Description

Transfer Techniques are so appealing! If you are an art teacher looking for new, exciting techniques to engage all of the learners in your class, becoming expert in transfer techniques is a great addition to your art toolkit.

The objective of this training is to equip you with a range of transfer techniques, using a range of media, and lots of project ideas.

Transfer techniques are methods of transferring newsprint, laser and inkjet images and text onto different surfaces such as paper, card, fabric or wood.

They have huge creative potential and are ideal if your students need fresh inspiration. They can be used for stand-alone projects or to extend existing projects.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the principles behind image transfer and the different methods for transferring newsprint, laser prints, and inkjet prints.
  • Select appropriate media (e.g., matte medium, PVA, tape, or solvents) for transferring images to a variety of classroom surfaces such as paper, canvas, fabric, and wood.
  • Demonstrate a range of transfer techniques step by step, applying them successfully to create clear, intentional outcomes.
  • Identify potential challenges (e.g., smudging, incomplete transfers) and apply practical solutions in classroom settings.
  • Integrate transfer methods into classroom projects, linking them to themes, artists, or curriculum goals.
  • Download and apply supporting resources from the course, using them directly in planning and teaching art lessons.

Once you have watched the professional development, you will be able to download a certificate that includes your name, the name of the course, and the duration. The video is 1hr long, the duration of the course is 8 hours to allow you time to complete the tasks within and consider how you will integrate what you have learnt into your teaching. The duration on the certificate will be 8hrs.

Texas Educators (CPE): The Arty Teacher is an approved Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider in Texas. If you wish to claim Texas CPE credit for this course, please read the Texas CPE Information document which is included with the course. This explains the additional requirements for verification, including completion of the practical tasks and submission of evidence.

Materials Required: You will need a range of general materials including scissors, newspaper, masking tape and a hair dryer for speedy drying. For the different transfer methods you will also need glue (PVA or Mod Podge) with a glue spreader, plain paper, card or grey board, scrap card, white and coloured acrylic paints, matt medium, a palette or plate, large and medium brushes, cotton wool or tissue, and optionally a water mist bottle. Some techniques require a metal or wooden spoon for burnishing, 100% acetone, and pieces of wood (around 20cm x 16cm or smaller, though cardboard can work as a substitute). For fabric transfers, use a cotton-blend non-shiny fabric in cream or white, and for sticky tape transfers you’ll need clear tape such as Sellotape or Scotch tape, ideally extra wide.

  • Transfer Techniques

    By ArtforEveryone on

    This was such a unique art medium to learn about. I tried all the different techniques, except I had to substitute a few things like Mod Podge for the Acrylic Medium and it worked really well. For the material, I used a colored background, which was cool, but taking off the paper was a bit trickier as you had to be careful the design didn’t rip. I love that she showed us that you can “doctor” up your designs with a pen. On the colored image, I used Prismacolor pencils and those worked perfectly. Definitely a class to take and explore!!

    Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

    I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

    I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

    I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
