1B- Art Week - Gunta Soltzl

Lesson: Art and design

The chlidren learnt all about Gunta Stolzl, a German artist who was famous for her textiles work (weaving).

They they had to create their sea/ocean back grounds (in pairs). Using a mixture of materials, fabric and wool, the children developed their weaving skills.  

The children then used their sketch books to record studies of sea life using pencil crayons, chalk and oil pastels, which can then be created using fabric felt. 

They then carefully cut, trimmed, positioned their sea creatures made out of felt and considered their final composition before attaching their sea creatures to their ocean background.

After their completed art work, the children had to evaluate their work and say what they felt about their art work, what htye found most difficult and what they would improve for next time.
