Maintain natural colors and patterns-interesting extension dyeing

With the coming of autumn and winter, children always like to pick up the leaves on the ground and the flowers in the clay house as decorations. Some children put them on their ears, and some children want to pin flowers on their clothes. How can we stay beautiful? Our big class is implementing the theme of "cloth-like floral art" Some children want to draw pictures on clothes, but the pictures are not as good as the objects. Some children want to stick small flowers on their bodies, but after a long time, flowers and leaves become stale and can't be washed clean. What should we do?

Mg children think it is better to print flowers and grass on clothes or cloth like small class rubbings, so they start children's activities and take time to find a white cloth. They picked up acrylic pigments and chose the textured side to print on the cloth. They found that the rubbings are easy to fall off after clothes are dried, and the cloth will become hard, which will affect the overall beauty. So we wanted to find the answer, and found that there was another art without the professional concentration of photographers. You don't need the artist's technical performance, you can solidify the natural shape and color of plants on the required carrier by tapping with your hands, which is plant extension dyeing.

With the strong support of parents, we collected white cloth of different geology for plant rubbings. Although there are many paintings and grass outside the kindergarten in early winter, we are looking forward to warm weather. The children set off with small kettles and plastic bags on their backs. As they walked and explored, they found yellow chrysanthemums, small daisies about to fall, purple jasmine and so on, and picked up fallen ginkgo leaves, maple leaves and Hollyleaf. Children will try the leaves as soon as they pick them up. When we choose and classify flowers and leaves, we divide them into dry and wet categories and flowers and plants.

In order to make the flowers fresher, we decided to start measuring the speed at once.

Experiment 1: On the same piece of cloth, we first put dry leaves and wet leaves on the cloth, and then fix them with wide tape, so that we can beat them with a millstone stick. After a period of beating, it was found that the wet leaves were rich in water, which would quickly dye the color and shape of the cloth, while the dry leaves were not easy to dye the cloth because of their own water loss, and the shape was not obvious.

Experiment 2: We put fresh leaves and fresh flowers on the same cloth, and then fix them with wide tape. Here, we continue to beat them with millstones. We found that the little flower with the highest expectations of children turned into a circle after being beaten, and the original shape of the flower could not be seen. The yellow floret also turns black because of the beating with the flower core. The effect is not particularly obvious, but the fresh leaves have clear veins and bright colors. But we did an improved experiment, putting the petals of flowers into the shape of small flowers one by one. Now we use the same method to play, and find that the veins of yellow florets are clear, that is, we should pay attention to playing light-colored flowers, so as not to press them too hard, and the color will fall off.

What kind of plants can be used for plant extension dyeing is the first experiment. It is found that leaves and small flowers rich in fresh juice should be chosen. When choosing leaves, we should try our best to choose leaves with clear veins and beautiful shapes to facilitate extension dyeing. Flowers can choose darker colors, and the shape of petals can be created by using our brains and imagination.

Every plant is almost unique, even if the plants or flowers are similar, even if the strength or technology is similar, the final product must be different.

Maybe you want to ask, what kind of plants and flowers are the most suitable? How strong is the impact? In fact, as long as you want to try, you will find your most satisfactory answer.

Besides the result, the fun and surprise in the process, or unexpected hand painting, is the most interesting part of Ye Tuo's creation.
