- BATIK CLOTH: PART II -
Lesson Description
After letting the glue dry from last class, students continued their batiks by painting over the dried glue onto the fabric. Before painting, they learned about color theory, specifically that all other colors are mixed from the three primary colors red, yellow, and blue. Kelly read the story Mouse Paint to get students thinking about how colors are combined to make other colors. After practicing using the primary colors to mix the secondary colors (green, purple, and orange), students mixed their own colors to paint on the batik cloth. Each batik is unique because of the interesting colors each individual student chose to mix. The glue will then be washed away from the cloth, leaving sections of white cloth and creating the batik pattern.

- THE ART MAKING -
|
Students watch the process of how their drawing is transferred onto the fabric with an iron. They discuss their contributions to the collaborative drawing and later reflected on what went well and what they struggled with in working collaboratively.
|
Students practice mixing colors with paint. This student explains the combinations of primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) she used to achieve unique shades of secondary colors ( green, purple and orange).
