KLA Links: Geography Learning Intention: We are learning about Japanese Shibori and tissue paper bleeding A3 art paper Display the following image: Tissue paper Pose the question: What do you think Japanese Shibori might be? Spray bottles Discuss what Shibori is: Water Shibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dying. The word comes from the verb root shiboru, "to wring, squeeze, press." Shibori was originally an art of the poor. In feudal Japan, many people could not afford to buy expensive fabrics like cotton or silk, so clothes were often made of cheap hemp fabrics. People could not afford to replace clothes regularly either, so they would repair and redye them, and the art of Shibori evolved as a means of making old clothes look ONE: new. Tie-dyeing has evolved in many cultures around the world, and can be seen on fabrics made thousands of years ago in Latin America, Africa, India, China and around Japanese Asia. Shibori Explain how we will use tissue paper bleeding to create a Japanese Shibori inspired artwork. Lightly spray art paper surface so it is slightly damp VAS3.1 Place the tissue paper carefully down onto the art paper either in a pattern or random arrangement VAS3.3 Ensure some of the tissue paper overlaps to get colour blending Apply more water using the spray bottle to ensure the tissue paper is stuck to paper When it is mostly dry pull tissue paper pieces off the art paper to reveal the design left behind. NB: this artwork will be used as the background to the Asian pagodas design. Reflection on Learning:
Asian Pagodas VAS3.1 VAS3.3 Learning Intention: We are learning to design a detailed Asian Pagoda art paper Display an informative text about Pagodas pencil Ask: What is a pagoda?
