This week is International arts week. We are looking at the art and culture of Brazil.........and following the football as well!!
Brazilians love to wear colourful clothes especially at Carnival time!
Here we are tie dying shirts in the colours of the Brazilian flag
First we washed and rinsed the shirts.
Then we explored different ways of tieing or banding the material and predicted what sort of pattern would be made.
Next we dyed them very carefully and left them to rest.
After a couple of hours we had a great undoing of bands. We were so excited!
Most patterns came out as we predicted. Each one was different and each beautiful in its own way!
