Fourth grade students created characters and placed them onto drawn T-shirts. The designs feature an "anthropomorphic" character that they imagined. Anthropomorphic means that they have given a human personality or characteristics to an object or an animal. They drew a t-shirt shape complete with detailed stitching, and sketched their character onto it using a pencil. When the character was placed, they used a sharpie to outline.
The students added color by laying strips of colored tissue paper onto their drawings. They picked a solid color to fill the background, covering the entire space. They dipped a brush into water, and brushed over the tissue paper. The pigment in the tissue spreads into paper and creates vibrant color.
After they cover the whole background, they begin adding a tie-dye pattern to the inside of the shirt. The students repeat a color combination so that each paper strip is touching different colors. When the different color strips are wet, the pigments blend and mix creating a tie-die effect.
