I always get soo excited when we learn a new art technique. This one is called Batik.
Firstly the picture is drawn on material, and then the picture is glued with washable pva.
The material and picture is then painted over with acrylic paint.
The end pictures - above is Eden's, below is Niamh's. Note how the tree is totally covered over.
Once the painting is dry, the material is placed in hot water so that the glue(which covered the trees) comes off, and pulls the paint off with it.
To reveal the lovely autumn tree pattern below.
Niamh's tree.
