Here are two examples of my 8th grade students' tempera batik. I asked my students to create a composition where the flowers touched at least 3 of the 4 sides of our paper.

I had fresh flowers in the room for the students to view as they created their compositions.

Paintings are 12X18 inches.

It had been years since I presented this technique and was quite pleased with the results.
