Fun Friday: Tie Dye

About every-other Friday, my high school classes are offered a "Fun Friday." Fun Friday exposes students to art forms they may otherwise not experience. This fun Friday, we did sharpie and rubbing alcohol tie dyed shirts. This form of tie dye is cool because you have a lot of control over the colors, shapes, and designed. Students experimented with the materials all class long and created some intricate and complex patterns and designs.
 
 


 

Clay!

This semester we've been doing a lot of clay at both the middle and high school levels. Below you can find a lot of examples! I will write the grade and/or project under the picture. Enjoy!
