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.
