local craft (b)Types of materials for making craft(c)tool and
equipment for making local craft(d)Craft and location

Definition of Local Craft:

Crafts are manually produced objects, meant to serve a particular

purpose of human needs. They can also be

Called handicraft. It is so because the use of skilled hand is involved.

They are produced with local materials. The person who makes craft is
called a craftsman.

Types of materials for making craft

(i)Paperwork

In paperwork, papers of different colours are used and folded and cut in
different ways.

Materials:

-Different types of paper, Gum, Cutting knife, scissors, Pencils e t c

(ii)Tie dye:

This is the process by which cloth is tied to prevent dye from penetrating
.Another name for cloth is fabric

Materials

Fabric, different colours of dyes, chemical (caustic soda, sodium

hydrosulphite, bowl, rope, handgloves, Longstick, Iron, starch e t c

(iii)Batiks

Batiks is the process of using candle or bee wax to cover a fabric thereby
preventing dye from entering. The wax is melted and applied with a
brush on the fabrics. Method of wax application includes stenciling
method, free hand and stamping. The tool used is called Tjanting. It is
used to apply hot wax on desired areas of fabric. When this tool is not
available, the designer improvises using hog brush or ties a small foam
to a stick

Materials

Bee wax/candle wax, dyes of different colours, coldwater, bowl, flat table

(iv)Basketry

The simplest forms of weaving are baskets of all kinds. Basketry is a craft
in which a container is made from interwoven strips of flexible material

Materials

INTRODUCTION TO TIE AND DYE: (a)Meaning(b)Types of tie and dye

Design:tying,folding,clamping etc(c)Materials and tools (d)Making of
design and finishing process.

Tie-dye is one way to create an explosion of beautiful colour. It is a resist

technique Fabrics are tied to keep cloth areas from dye. Tie-dye does
play good role fashion of our society. Tie-dye can also be used to make
lamp shades, table covers, window blinds, bed sheets and pillow cases,
gift wraps, wall hanging clothing and costumes. Used old clothes tie dye
look new and interesting to wear again.

TYPES OF TIE DYE DESIGN

1 Concentric circle

Fold materials on the two diagonals of the cloth, shape and wind string
tightly at intervals from the middle.

2 Circle method (concentric circle)

Pick up the cloth from the middle and fold as evenly as possible away
from the middle point, tying string

Tightly around the cloth at intervals. When dipped in dye, the areas
where the strings was tied will create concentric circles and remain the
colour of the cloth.

3 clump tying

Pebbles tied in the cloth will create interesting effects.

4 Pleating method

Roll the cloth in to small cube and tie it with strong knots. Cloth folded in
accordion stlyle, tied tightly with strings at intervals will create stripes.

5 Marbling

This is purely texture effect. Just loosen the fabric and without any
particular method make it into a ball and tie tightly with a rope

6 Knotting
Take the fabric at the edges and at intervals and make series of knots
tightly.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

-100% clean cotton fabric

-strings, rope ,raffia

-heat source

-dyes of different colour

-plastic bowls

-rubber gloves

-stick to stir dye baths

-chemicals (caustic soda ,hydrosulpite)

-salt to serve as fixatives

-spoons for measuring dye

-press iron for finishing

DYEING PROCESS
 1. The fabric to be dyed must be clean; you do this by washing the
fabric with soap and water.

2. Plan your design by tying cloth in any combination.

3. Prepare you dye bath.

4. Dip cloth in dye solution and stir constantly with stick so that the
material will be dyed evenly or hand using hand /rubber gloves to
protect your hand.

5. Leave the material in dye for 40 minutes.

6. Hang for oxidation.

7. Remove from dye and rinse in cold water

8. If another colour is to be used, untied the strings desired, re-tie at

other sports and put in next colour dye solution. Start with the
lightest colour and end with the darkest e.g. yellow should come
before blue, orange before purple and so on.

9. Allow to drip dry or squeeze out excess water.

10. Press cloth with iron when cloth is still damp which with also help
set the colour.

WEEK 4

TOPIC: Production of Models with Paper:

Objectives: By the end of this lesson the students will be able to:
 1. Explain modeling in art.

2. Define Papier Mache.

3. List materials and tools used in Papier Mache.

4. Describe the methods of preparing papier-mache

5. Mention the uses of papier-mache

6. Make a Model with Paper Mash.

Period 1

MODELLING

Modeling is the art of moulding objects with different materials like

papier-maché, clay, plasticine, cement etc.

MEANING OF PAPIER MACHE

1. It is a process of making pulp from paper (old newspaper,

cardboard sheets or tissue paper) used for modeling objects.

2. Papier – Mache is repulped paper mixed with glue or paste used to

mould objects.

3. It is a French word which means mashed paper used to produce

modeled objects.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED FOR PAPIER MACHE

Old newspaper, old Calendars, tissue paper. (ii) Water (iii) Starch
(iv)vegetable oil or grease (v) Scissors/cutter (vi) Mortar and pestle
(vii) Bowl (viii) Spoon (ix) Paint (x) Brush(xi) Spatulas.

PREPARATION AND THE MAKING OF PAPIER-MACHE FOR MODELLING

 Cut the paper into small bits or strips, approximately ½ in wide.

Soak the small bits of papers inside water for at least 24 hours.
(tissue paper should be soaked for few minutes)

Remove the soaked pieces of paper and squeeze out the excess
water.

Pound the soak paper inside Mortar and Pestle. (tissue paper may
not be pounded because it is already soft)

Remove the pounded pulp from the Mortar into a bowl.

Prepare cassava starch with hot water and mix to a fairly thick
consistency (like the preparation of pap)

Mix the paper pulp with the starch properly when the starch is
cool(white glue can also be used in place of starch)

The prepared pulp can be used to mould objects like bowl, cup, jugs,
animals etc.

DIP AND PASTE METHOD OF PAPER-MACHE MODELLING

The technique involves the cutting of papers into strips, soaking them in
the prepared starch and laying the stripes on the greased surface of a
plate or bowl that will serve as the mould that the dry paper will take its
shape. The surface of the plate can be greased with vegetable oil or
grease.

USES OF PAPIER MACHE

1. Papier-mache modeling can be used to teach students about three

dimensional shapes and form.

2. Objects made from papier-mache can be used as teaching aids in

laboratory and classroom.

3. Papier-mache modeling can be used to teach the student how to

manage waste in our environment.

4. Papier-mache can also be used as an avenue to teach

improvisation in art class.

5. Papier-mache products can be used for decoration.

PERIOD 2

Practical work on papier mache.
