Through observational research, sketching, and experimentation, students explored the natural textures, colours, and forms found within the woodland environment. Using traditional batik techniques, including wax resist and fabric dyeing, students worked together through a layered creative process to produce large-scale tree landscape artworks. The project developed students\u2019 artistic, technical, and collaborative skills while encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation of the local environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
