Starting with lines, your students will create crisp, bold patterns and learn that we can use symbols in our art to spread peace and kindness. Then students learn how to design unique “tie-dye” backgrounds with marker printing.
The best part of this project is the song of “oohs” and “aahs” echoing across the classroom as students lift their papers from the foil to reveal their “tie-dye” creations.
Simple set up, minimal materials, and a message of peace — this lesson is a hit any time of the year!
