Day five: poor mans batik

This is the day you should be finished painting your batik. You will peel it from the board and soak it in the sink for ten minutes. But first, look at the card stock underneath your painted design. 

This is a good indicator that your paint has soaked through and stained your Muslim. 

Remove tape from your edges before you soak it. 

Once all of your paint has rinsed out and no longer feels slimy, hang it to dry and enjoy. 

Day four: Poor mans batik

Use non-washable tempera paint after your aloe-Vera-toothpaste-mixture has had time to dry. In Washington it will take an overnight period. It will be barely sticky to the touch when it is ready to paint. Choose your colors wisely only the base color will show through. You really need to apply a lot of paint for it to dye the Muslim . 

Day three: poor mans batik

Then we had to tape them down and secure a 18" square piece of Muslim over your sharpied work. Try to hold the Muslim on barely touching the edges, everywhere you tape will be white. And it will look unappealing.  Tape is water resistant so be weary. 

 

Day two: Poor mans batik

We sharpied our lines and decide what we'd use the mixture on. 

Day one: poor mans batik

I used my inspiration and it showed through too much. I will need to combine them so they have organic lines. 

start your design on a 18x18" piece of card stock, skecth in pencil first then Sharpie over lines you want to keep

New project! Poor mans batik

To my understanding we will be using things that can be purchased at your local dollar store. Cheap aloe Vera lotion and cheap toothpaste combines to make the outline on your Muslim cloth and we will paint the spaces with tempera paint to dye the panels. Like stained glass. 

Final requirements: two point perspective

Time management- I used all of my class time but still finished late. 

8-10 buildings- I did bare minimum. 

8-10 textures and values- I did bare minimum on textures but several values were used for blending. 

craftsmanship( color is applied neatly.  Pretty paper. No crinkles or rips. Straight lines. No smeared pencil. No eraser marks.)-  I had dirty-ruler marks and a little bit of a curled corner but other than that I did pretty great. 

Correct perspective is used( 2 vanishing points. Verticals lines are parallel words are in perspective.)- I messed up a little in the sidewalk spacing but for the most part my orthogonals and my parallels were on par. 

Day six: 2 point perspective cityscape

So I finally finished my art work. It had exactly eight textures, I hadn't even counted. And I ended up blending almost everything
