For the batiks we made, we had a chance to experiment with a completely different concept of art. First we had to think of something to draw. Then we traced it onto a piece of cloth and used wax to go over the lines. It was rather difficult to be precise and perfect with this so that's why it doesn't look even and a little lopsided. After that we used dye to stain the cloth and make it look like this.
It was rather difficult to obtain the color I was looking for since the colors of the dye were so generic. I had to mix a bunch of colors at once to try to get a dark red, but even then it looked more pink than red.The colors bled and it looked a little funky, but liked it in the end.
