To begin our journey, we explored using oil crayons with careful control to create different patterns ✏️✨. We practised making lines, shapes, and repeating designs, thinking about how artists can use pattern in their work.

We also had lots of fun experimenting with texture by using different types of fabric. We discovered how materials can be used to create unique effects and added these into our artwork to make it more interesting and tactile 🤲🧶.

As part of our exploration, we investigated a variety of materials and yarns, noticing how they feel, look, and can be used in different ways. Some were soft, some were rough, and some were stretchy – perfect for inspiring our creativity!

We are very excited to continue developing our textile skills and can’t wait to create our own pieces inspired by Anne Kelly 🎉🪡.

We have certainly lived out the calls to action in our Art curriculum vision statement:

Be creative. Be proficient. Be reflective.
