Aloha Shirts
Crawley, Linda
Arts & Activities, v152 n3 p28-29 Nov 2012
After creating fish-themed art works for the school's Evening of the Arts, the school moved onshore. In Florida, a tropical climate and casual dress is the norm, so students are familiar with Hawaiian "Aloha" shirts. To begin the lesson, the author displayed several Aloha shirts across the front of the art room. She then gives a quick demonstration on drawing tropical flowers and leaves and gives each student a 6-inch x 6-inch piece of newsprint for their image. In this activity, children will: (1) explore the history of the Aloha shirt; (2) design a tropical foliage motif on a relief printing plate; (3) experience the printing process, then color their copies; and (4) create a personal and a group print that is used to create a life-sized paper Aloha shirt.
