What was your goal(s)? My goal was to create a T-shirt at camp that was fun and creative.
How did you go about working toward your goal(s)? Steps in process: 1 st - I bought a 100% dark colored cotton t-shirt. 2 nd - I created a design on contact paper and placed it on the shirt. 3 rd - I used a spray bottle with pure bleach in it and sprayed where I wanted the shirt bleached. 4 th - I wiped off the excess bleach from the contact paper with a paper towel. 5 th - I took the contact paper off and swished the shirt around in a bucket of water. 6 th - I washed it. 7 th - I then wore it. Expenses: Shirt- $5.00 Time: One evening creating the design and bleaching Plan: My plan was to make the rabbit design that looks something like my rabbit, Rosey.
What were the most important things you learned as your worked toward your goal(s)? If you don t want spots on the back of the shirt where the bleach soaks through by mistake, put a piece of cardboard inside the shirt. I did this with the second shirt I made and it worked.
What would you like to do in this project next year? Next year I would like to teach this technique to my club and make club t-shirts.

Are the colors bright or dull (intensity)? Are the colors light or dark (value)? How do the colors make you feel? Why do the colors look good together? Line Describe the lines curved, straight, thick thin, bold fine, horizontal, vertical, dotted, zigzag, etc. Do the lines lead your eye? Explain Do the lines show direction or outline an object or divide a space? Explain Do the lines create a mood? Explain Texture Describe the texture smooth, slick, shiny, rough, raised, bumpy, fuzzy, soft, hard, grainy, etc. Can you feel the texture or is it just visual? Shape/Form Shapes are 2-dimensional. Are the shapes geometric or realistic or abstract? If your design has 3-dimensions it has form describe the form (balls, cylinders, pyramids, boxes.) Space Space is the amount of room you have.

Principles of Design Elements and Principles of Design Help Sheet (Boone County) http://www.extension.iastate.edu/boone/kidsteens.htm (look under 4-H Club Resources on the right) Principles of Design Balance Are both sides of the design the same (symmetrical)? If they are not the same, they may be asymmetrical, but do they feel balanced? Why? Or is the design radial arranged around a center point like a pizza, daisy or tire? Emphasis Rhythm Unity Proportion What is the first thing you see? Why? (Examples are contrasting color, line or shape; larger or smaller shape; contrast from plain background) What makes your eye move around the design? (repeating, gradually bigger, alternating?) Why do parts of the design feel like they belong together? (such as textures have similar feel, lines or shapes repeat, colors are harmonious) How does the design fill the space? How do parts of the design relate to each other?
Goal Card adding Elements and Principles of Design Elements and Principles of design: Elements: Color- The color of my shirt is brown with bleached color areas. Line- The lines in the design are mostly curved. For example the lines of the spots are curved and so are the lines of the body.
