- BATIK CLOTH: PART I -
Lesson Description
In this class period students were introduced to the cultural tradition of batik cloth, which uses a resist method to create patterns. To tie it to the previous lesson, teachers helped the class as a whole brainstorm ideas of events, people, places, and things that make them excited, happy, and sad. Next, students were given a sheet of paper to draw anything they were thinking of after the brainstorming session. Next, the teachers read Too Much Glue by Jason Lefebvre, which got students excited to work with bottles of glue. Students then viewed a batik cloth from Indonesia to begin thinking about the idea of resist and some of the patterns batiks can make. Setting a square of fabric over their drawing, students used bottles of glue to trace the lines in their drawings on the fabric. The batiks will dry before next class when students will add color with paint.
Enduring Understandings
Learning Target
Using glue and tracing images students will create a drawing in glue that will be the resist for a Batik cloth
