尝试开展这些受维克·穆尼兹启发的巧克力糖浆绘画活动，以一场快速而短暂的美术课，激发学生的创造力。
当我的学生陷入创作瓶颈或需要灵感时，我常会安排巧克力糖浆绘画活动。我曾将这一单日艺术实践用作期中“考试”成绩，也用作长假后返校的第一堂趣味课，或新学期伊始用于师生相互了解的艺术活动。我最钟爱的做法是提前告诉学生我们将使用一种不同寻常的材料，但暂不透露具体是什么——这种悬念感真正能点燃他们的创作热情。
巧克力糖浆绘画所需材料
我也格外喜欢这项活动，因其所需材料极少。奇耐特纸盘（Chinet plates）效果最佳；请避免使用廉价泡沫塑料盘，因为糖浆会在其表面聚集成团。普通纸盘也可使用，但廉价纸盘效果欠佳。据我经验，廉价巧克力糖浆的效果不如好时（Hershey’s）品牌。
我们使用常规画笔作画，清洗起来出人意料地轻松。你还可以提供焦糖酱和草莓酱，增添色彩变化的乐趣。我们还曾尝试过咖啡渣、白糖、辣椒酱和意大利面等材料。
艺术家维克·穆尼兹
维克·穆尼兹（Vik Muniz） 是一位巴西艺术家，以运用非常规材料著称。他创作所用材料包括糖、意大利面、巧克力糖浆及垃圾等。他的系列作品《垃圾图景》（Pictures of Garbage）及其配套纪录片《废土》（Wasteland）(https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/waste-land/)，以垃圾填埋场中的废弃物为媒介创作图像，同时深入呈现靠该垃圾场维生的巴西民众的生活境况。他是一位令学生倍感着迷的艺术家，也非常适合作为探讨“挪用艺术”（appropriation）议题时的教学范例。
我最近一次开展此项活动的对象是高级课程（AP）学生。他们需在作品中体现实验性探索能力——而这一点竟出人意料（抑或并不意外！）地难以推动他们落实。因此，我要求学生从自己素描本中已有的设计、构图或素描中任选一幅，尝试以新材料对其进行再创作与修改。

你可以为学生设定一个主题，或提供一组参考图像供其创作。你亦可效仿维克·穆尼兹的做法，将本次活动作为临摹大师作品的契机。
完成创作后，我们为其拍照留档，随后即丢弃原作。这是一堂关于“短暂艺术”的绝佳课程，引导学生捕捉那些无法永恒留存的瞬间。

Try out these Vik Muniz inspired chocolate syrup paintings to get your students’ creativity flowing with a quick and temporary art lesson.
When my students are in a rut or needing inspiration, I like to throw chocolate syrup paintings their way. I have used this one day artwork as a midterm “exam” grade, a fun first day back from a long break or a getting to you know artwork at the beginning of a new semester. My favorite way to do it is to let students know we are going to use a different material, but not let them know what it is. The element of surprise really helps jumpstart their creativity.
Chocolate Syrup Painting Materials
I also love doing this because it requires very few materials. Chinet plates work best, avoid cheap styrofoam because the syrup bunches up. You can use paper plates as well, but the cheaper ones don’t work as well. In my experience cheaper chocolate syrup doesn’t work as well as Hershey’s.
We use regular brushes to paint with and they clean up surprisingly easily. You can also set out caramel and strawberry syrup for a little color play. We have also experimented with coffee grinds, sugar, hot sauce and pasta.
Artist Vik Muniz
Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist known for his unconventional materials. He has worked with sugar, spaghetti, chocolate syrup and garbage to name a few. His series Pictures of Garbage and accompanying documentary Wasteland create images out of landfill garbage while also exploring the lives of Brazilians who lived off the landfill. He is a fascinating artist that students respond well to. He is also a great artist to look at when discussing appropriation with students.
The most recent times I have used this activity was with my Advanced Placement students. They are assessed on using experimentation in their artwork, which is surprisingly (or maybe not!) hard to get them to do. I had them pick a design, composition or drawing from their sketchbook they had previously developed so they could revise that with a new material.

You could give your students a theme or a series of images to work from. If you could also use this as an opportunity to take a page out of Vik Muniz’s book and focus on master copies.
When we are done, we photograph and then discard the artwork. It’s a great lesson in temporary art and capturing a moment that does not last forever.
