Tempera Batik!

During these last few class periods, our Creative Arts Class has been working on an interesting and unique project: A tempera batik self portrait.  We've sketched our faces rather cartoon-ishly onto our papers, painted over them in a monochromatic fashion, smeared ink over them, and finally rinsed them to let their new look be shown! Of course, this was all done for practice, as most of us haven't begun painting our real portrait yet. This method of painting and inking is very unlike what a traditional art class would do, which makes me enjoy it.  The more innovative and creative we get, the better our art becomes! I love the look of our tempera batik paintings, and I'm very excited to get to work on our full-sized paintings.
