Tapa Design

This week for Art, we are focusing on ''Tapa'' If your wondering what ''Tapa'' means it's bark cloth, or Tapa is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. The inner bark is taken from several types of trees and shrubs, often ''Mulberry and fig, or light brown, red and black. Here are some picture of ''Tapa'' 

Were going to make our own Tapa too. 

In class, Miss Power gave us some sheets of different Tapa designs we could do. I chose the easy one. I think I need to practise a little more. But I think I've done well.
