PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT ON PAPER

TYE DYE PRELIMS.
BEGINNING 3-D ART
paper towels, Rit dye, rubber bands, string, staples, clamps

This assignment is such a fun way to reinforce Color Theory for my 3-D kiddos.
They first learned their color wheel & mixtures for secondaries
 plus tinting & shading with the Polymer Clay Unit we saw a couple weeks ago.
In this Tye Dye practice unit they are also learning about Color Schemes.
The students were required to turn in 3 paper samplers,
each with a different design.
Their first one was to be dipped only in one color (Monochromatic)
the second one into 2 colors (Analogous) 
with a partial overlapping in one area to see how the two colors mixed.
The third one (Primary with Secondary Overlaps plus Neutrals) had to be dipped into 3 colors
 with partial overlaps as well.
The results were terrific.
Enjoy!

What I did was look at all three in each student's packet
 to find their most beautiful one to photograph.
Above are 8th graders Daisy Camacho & Dana Ahmad.
So yummy!

Next we have senior Julie Ahn & 8th grader Loren Kim.
Stunning :)


And here are 8th grader Leanne Alcoy & Senior Alexis Bilas-Imperial.
Very cool!


These next 3 were done by Senior Hannah Park,
& 8th graders Karen Hung &  James Lara.
James made an especially tricky one that turned out like snowflakes.


We end with seniors Crystal Lai-Ton-Nu & Rachel Kannampuzha
 as well as 8th grader Christina Ortiz.

Brilliant job all of you!!!!

  1. Practice is a noun as well as a verb ... making what is theoretical real ... becoming more day by day

    Love Julie Ahn's supernova and agree that James Lara's efforts were well worthwhile

  2. You're right…so terrific. The layering makes each of them so rich. I'd love to stitch into any of these.
