Art Students "Egg-static" About Project
The Introductory Art students are learning about the Art of Ukrainian egg making and its history. Ukrainian Eggs are made using a wax-resist process. Each student designed three to four eggs, and each egg follows a different pattern. All of the students designed chicken eggs and some took the time to do a goose egg! The egg patterns are very rich in color; this teaches the students the correct order in which the dyes need to be used which is light to dark. Ukrainian eggs were created as a celebration of spring! It appeared that the Introductory Art Students really enjoyed this Folk Art unit! Ask one of them to explain the egg making process to you…. It is very interesting!
