Batik by Acacia Anglin

Procedure1. Work on scrap paper to develop your idea. Focus on

composition using the entire sheet of paper. You will find big and bold, bright and colorful designs work best.

2. Some good ideas for subject matter include architecture, shapes, animals, fish, birds and flowers.

3. Transfer your rough draft to 12x18 paper and outline with chalk so you know you can get a feel for what will be black.

Apply thick even color with the crayons. Where you would like a black line to separate areas of color, leave the paper white. ( if you need large areas of black or white, you need to apply crayon)

Coloring complete? Take your drawing to the sink, run it under cold water, crumple it up and

straighten it out on a drawing board.Apply a coat of black tempera with a wide

brush—rinse your brush.GENTLY begin wiping off the paint

FinishingOnce you have wiped the black tempera off, find a

spot to let your batik dry on the board.Then, take your batik off the board and apply a thin

coat of gloss medium.

After that, let your batik dry and then it is ready to be turned in.
