Aim:
- To use fabric in picture making.
- To develop an understanding how fabric can be decorated.
- To learn simple methods of stitching.
How To:
- We looked at a variety of fabrics and sorted and classified the materials according to colour, pattern, texture.
- We talked how fabric can be changed with food dye.
- Students looked at pictures of flowers and discussed shape, line and colour. Students explored ideas for designs.
- Students used food dye to paint their designs onto the fabric piece.
- When the work dried students added more detail and decorated the flowers with fabric pastels and paint.
- To work was framed and decorated with running stitch.
Learning Objectives:
- To examine how fabric is constructed
- To modify fabric by pulling threads.
- To introduce children to weaving.
- To develop skills of weaving, cutting and joining.
This is how we made it:
- We changed the hessian by pulling threads to make gaps.
- We used a variety of different materials to weave back into the pulled hessian.
- We used our woven hessian piece as a background for an underwater scene.
- We collaged fish and created seaweed with pipe cleaners, beads and felt.
