Batik Designs on Paper




























Year 4 studied traditional Batik patterns and the process of creating Batik.  We identified defining features such as symmetry and repetition of design.  Students drew their own designs on paper with oil pastels and outlined them in black.  Carefully they scrunched up their drawings and opened them up again, then repeated the process.  After opening them a second time they painted a black wash over their images to mimic the traditional process of dyeing the fabric.
