tri 2 week 8

"A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."

-Michelangelo


County wide art club at the NCCA was Tuesday. We learned how to create a batik. The first step is to wax your design on a piece of muslin.


Then you paint die in between the waxed areas.


The last step is to iron the wax out of the muslin for a finished product.
