11-12 Art ***Nicole's E-mail***

  • ***For Art next week the activity is T-shirt making!
    • Everyone should bring at least one shirt. White will
    • be the easiest to transfer images and, and spray paint will
    • look the most colorful on white, but feel free to bring whatever
    • color you would like.
    • We will be using spray paint, isopropyl alcohol, and/or citrasolv.
    • Last year for Art, Olivia led an t-shirt activity using isopropyl alcohol using sharpie markers. If anyone has any droppers and/or sharpies, and is able to bring some, I would really appreciate it.
    • Citrasolv is a natural degreaser. It smells like oranges, but it is not toxic. It transfers printer images onto fabric in a very short amount of time. If you would like to use images on your shirts, you will need to print them out and bring them next week. PLEASE NOTE: The printer has to use TONER. not ink. If you bring in a picture with ink, it won't work.
    • If you are using words, you need to flip the image, because it will be transferred onto the t-shirt backwards, hence.. your words will be backwards.
    • Spray paint & alcohol must be used outside. I will bring a tarp, and I have spray paint, but, again, if anyone has any, feel free to bring them in. Hopefully it does not rain, but if it does, we can either use the tarp over our heads, or just use the citrasolv inside.***
