Ukrainian Eggs

Art 8 classes had the opportunity to practice the ancient art form of egg decorating from the Ukraine. Students used tools called kistkas to create elaborate designs with wax. They would then dip into colorful dies, add more wax and repeat the dying process. When totally finished with the design, we burned off the wax using a candle flame to reveal the multi-colored design beneath. The results were amazing! Check out the student examples.
