Friday
Today is a catch up day.
2nd hour
-use today to finish up on the tie dye designs we have learned so far. There are 4 of them as follows:
#1-Simple (spiral, accordion fold or scrunch)
#2-Guideline (heart or other shape from the video)
#3-Complex-combination of simple and guideline or two or more simple designs. (heart and scrunch, spiral and scrunch)
#4-Shibori-tying marbles or other items into the cloth to form white rings
If you are caught up, create a simple drawing like flowers, butterflies, animals and so on. Use the sketch paper in cabinet #13. We will need this sketch for Tuesday.
5A
Continue working on the silk screening as you can. More screens will be prepared for Monday. Finish up any of the samples that you have not yet completed. Silkscreens can be dried in-between uses. If the screen is still wet, your tape will not stick.
Remember! Only use paint specifically for silkscreening or it will clog the screen and ruin it. It is $5 to replace a ruined screen. Createx Paint from the Fabric Paint cabinet is the only "paint" that can be used. You can also use the inks in the silk screen cabinet. Apply and line with a spoon. Always place extra ink/paint back in the container. It is expensive! Please do not wash it down the sink.
Please take down your dry stencil and design from the clothes line. We will need the space.
Look for sunset photographs with lots of color in the sky. Print them off in color to the LHS135 color printer. We will need them next week.

Today you will take your 3 color drawing and begin preparing your stencils. Get 3 pieces of sketch paper. Label each one with one of the 3 colors. Tape your sketch to the lightbox or window. Line up one of the labeled sheets on top of the sketch (label name up). On this piece of paper, trace all the shapes from your sketch that match the color labeled on your paper. Continue this with the remaining 2 sheets of paper. In the end you will have 4 sketches, one complete one and 3 made of like colored shapes from the main design. If you have time, you may use an exacto knife to cut out the shapes on all of the sheets, but the original drawing. Use a board under your work.

2nd Hour
Your current sample (#3) is a complex design that combines 2 or
more of the styles that you have learned to create a new design.
You should also rinse your samples
from last week.
Steps:
1. First rinse with the sample with the rubber bands on.
2. Next they remove the rubber bands, rinse the rubber bands and dry
them. The rubber bands should then immediately
go into the rubber band drawer.
3. Then you can finish rinsing the sample fabric.
4. The final step for today is to place the
rinsed pieces back in one of their original bags until tomorrow. Rinse the bags you have all
ready used. The bags with the rinsed and wrung out fabric can be
placed in your storage cabinet. Remember to dry the bags.
5. Please check the sinks for rubber bands.
5A
1-Continue to stencil and stamp your current sample.
2-Next we will be learning how to silk screen. You will need to create a drawing that requires 3 colors. You can use markers or color pencils to mark the colors. Do not create design details that are too small.
This video is similar to what we will be doing in class.
