Tapa Cloth Art Work by Ema

We are learning about artwork from different cultures around the world. Today we made tapa cloths. We looked up lots of images of tapa cloth designs, which are from the Pacific Islands. Once we had some inspiration, we did a draft copy of our tapa cloth. On our good copy, we drew a pencil outline then went over the top with a vivid. Then we scrunched up our paper to give it some creases and used brown and red dye to cover the paper. Once we had all completed our own individual tapa cloth, our teacher joined them together to create one big Room 11 tapa cloth. This is displayed in our classroom and it looks really cool!
