I want to do a series of art lessons around using wax. Students will delve into the properties of wax and how it can be used to resist other liquids and provide a barrier to the design they want to show. Students will also explore color and mixing with wax. I will also go over how a mold can help shape your form and dive deeper into 3D arts. I want to start out with recycling our old crayons and making new ones that have multiple colors in it. Students will learn to use the hot plate and pour melted crayons into the mold. I would love to have students make a work of art out of the crayons they make. Then I want students to make candles. I want them to experiment with texture on the beeswax, as wax can also be a great surface to create various textures. Lastly, the final part will be to create a batik using wax and dye. Students will use stencils to create a design on fabric, paint on the wax or print it with a stamp ( I have some personal batik stamps I purchased in Ghana, Africa), and then dye the fabric squares in the buckets. Students will see how resist methods create visually stunning looks! Art and science mix for awesomeness! Three years ago, I studied art in Ghana, and I can bring that training of their batik art form, to the students.
