This year in DT we have been looking at making patterns for saris. First we tryed out several different paterns but not all of them went to plan. The next week we used string to put some of the patterns from our books and copy them onto a piece of card. The week after that we did prity much the same thing and we finished of all four of our patterns. Finally it was time to try these pieces of artwork out on paper. We had to paint the string after they had dried. The next step was to print them onto a piece of paper to see which one would work the best. We did quite a few but we just had decide on one. Even though it was quite tricky, some of us managed to do a multi-colourd pattern which was often the favourite. Some of us were even brave enough to use 4 colours!
This week we moved on even further. We moved on to washing a piece of fabric. Although some of us favour dark colours we were unable to use them as a result of only being able to use a certain amount of colours. Whereas if we washed with a lighter colour the amount of colour we were able to use was unlimited. This involved mixing a small amount of dark colours with more of a light colour such as mixing white with quite a light blue to make a lovely colour to be a background. As a result of all of this hard work and painting the fabric will need to dry in the duration of half term.
After half term is when it gets really exiting and we get to print our patterns onto a proper sari. It might take a long time but in the end it will definitely be worth it.
I hope you have enjoyed reading and finding out what we have been doing in year four and I hope you have had fun reading it.
kind regards
Felix!
