Elementary fabric painting: Several year groups in Elementary School were given the subject “birds and fish” and were asked to explore free drawing with brushes and fabric inks into coloured synthetic silk. The birds were above and the fish were below.

We studied how sometimes colours “bleed” into fabrics and make unusual shapes which are a bit like staring into rolling clouds in the sky and imagining what you see there. Details were added after this using small brushes and less watery fabric paints.
