Batik fabric design!

Last time, we finished up with our last project: Batik(s). They looked pretty cool. Only sad part is that they kind of bled a little when we went to rinse them out. With mine, you miss the bottom part of the treeline (either my lines were too thin or it was dry enough for paint application, but it's kinda there. I decided to do a tree as my repeating pattern using only organic lines-short or long. It looks kinda cool actually. I like it. I kinda wished I used deeper cool colors for more of a contrast but oh well.

More updates...

I forgot to add a few other assignments.. :)


We did Google sketch-ups, creating a building that has a columns. It was harder than I thought it was. But it was still fun. Those in graphic design have my utmost respect for the time and talent they put into their creations. Here's what my building looked like. The dome is a happy accident. Unfortunately, I struggled in trying to recreate it on the other side. So.. there's only a half dome. I don't know what this building would be used for, but I had fun creating it.


This assignment was done before our watercolor resist paintings. We were testing the elements (sorta). We would taste a piece of food and then with line, shape and color had to paint what it tasted like in a square that was sectioned off with tape (8 squares per page). We were experimenting with watercolor at the same time so we did different things like: wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, use of different salts, use of saran wrap, and splattering. It was kind of fun. Can you guess what square is what food? You have the options of: sour patch watermelon, sour gummy worm, fudge brownie, muddy buddies, chicken in a biscuit cracker, chips & salsa, peanut butter & jelly sandwich, and chocolate chip cookie
