    The advanced class are doing a real Batik with melted parafin wax. The Art 1
    students did a crayon batik. They drew a simple design (she told them to do
    clowns or butterflies,yuk) and color them heavily with bright colors. She
    even gave them cards with inanimate objects on them to use as inspiration
    (and I use the word inspiration lightly). Next they dipped the finished
    piece into water and crumbled it up then laid it on newspaper. Next, they
    painted it with thinned down black tempera paint with a little bit of black
    dye in it. Then they blotted it and they could also rinse them. When dry,
    they mounted them. They turned out real good. The yellow color looks the
    best. Light/bright colors look great.
