IN THE ART ROOM
We are focusing on Threads and Textiles this term, exploring stitching, fabrics and weaving techniques. We have been practising tying knots, please find attached a video of beginning to tie knots. Top tip: tie a knot around your own thigh, find an old shoe lace, dressing gown cord, ribbon (something thick and easy to manipulate) then using your thigh as the anchor point (much easier than shoes on feet or things around waists) start practising tying knots, double knots and shoes laces.
Here are some additional videos on tying a knot on a thread ready for sewing. Students can choose which way suits them best, as well as practising the techniques taught in class.
It would be wonderful to support the learning in school by practising these techniques at home and help build students confidence.
ART AUCTION
Here's a sneak peak at our Collaborative Canvas artworks we have been busy producing for our Parent Social Art Auction. This year, money raised will help the purchase of new ergonomic stools to upgrade our Art Room.
