Elizabeth Pawle Inspired Embroidery Pieces

Elizabeth Pawle is my favourite artist at the moment. Her work is so beautiful, detailed and harmoniously coloured. She creates beautiful embroidered textiles, weavings and wall hangings using simple running stitches and french knots. I have been creating embroidery pieces based on her work this half term in order to inspire my year 10 students. What do you think?

Year 7 Jon Burgerman inspired Masks

In year 7 we have been looking at the fantastic doodle work from Artist Jon Burgerman. The year 7 students have created their own masks based on their own doodle ideas/research. Here are a few examples. Students used cardboard, mixed media, paint, 3D card board layers and tissue paper. Fantastic work girls. Keep working well.

Year 7 Lichtenstein inspired drawing work

Here are two excellent examples of Pop Art drawing pieces from my Art lesson last week. The same image of Roy Lichtenstein's woman, created with the same media (pencil & watercolour) demonstrating such unique style. Well done Emily Rimmer and Emily Egan. You are very talented girls. Keep up the good work.

Josh Doab Playstation Controller Cushion

A huge well done goes to Josh in year 8 for the designing and making of his excellent Playstation controller cushion. Josh completed this during the last technology rotation. Aside from trying his best and being 100% optimistic at all times Josh lets nothing stand in the way of his vision and creativity. Well done Josh. You are a superstar. Keep up the good work.

Year 8 Pop Art Cushions

We are now at the end of the third Textiles Year 8 rotation and I must say the quality of work just keeps getting better and better. Here is an example of some of the most creative design ideas/final pieces from the last rotation. I am particularly pleased with the use of Reverse Applique, Batik and Applique which the three students below have completed accurately and skillfully. Well done Rowan, Alex and Josie. Keep up the excellent work.
