Colour and identity
On 31 January 2025 I held a weaving workshop for GCSE and A-Level art and design students at ELIS Villamartin International school. It gave students the opportunity to learn a new skill whilst enabling them to demonstrate application and understanding of the elements of artistic practice, such as composition, and the use of colour and texture to achieve visual effects.
The main activity was to produce individual weavings using a colour palette chosen by the students to express their feelings towards their location.
The extension activity was for the students to work in small groups responding to a 3-dimensional weaving frame. Again the brief was to relate their responses to their locality and feelings towards it.
