Art of Africa - 5th grade
Faux Batik Designs
After spending many weeks learning
about the geography, culture and art of the many countries of Africa, 5th
graders were able to create their own designs inspired by what they had learned.
They were introduced to a fabric design technique known as Batik. Batik
is a process where hot wax is applied to a fabric in a unique design, the
fabric is dyed and the wax is washed away leaving the original design
white. Instead of wax, we used toothpaste! Thanks to the money
raised by the FSA Arts Festival we were able to buy a t-shirt for each 5th
grader. Each design turned out great!
