Spring 2 - Textiles & Collage

Collage in the style of Kurt Schwitters. We mostly used materials which would otherwise be thrown away, old newspaper, scraps of tin foil and wallpaper.

Collage in the style of Henri Matisse.

Anni Albers was a German artist. She was born in Berlin in 1899 and came from a Jewish family. She was interested in art from a young age. Albers studied at the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was an exciting school of art and design in Germany. Art teachers and students at the school worked and learnt together instead of being told what to do.At the time, women were only allowed to study a few classes. Anni decided to study weaving and became one of the greatest textile artists of our time. She believed that textiles are a type of art and as important as painting or sculpture!

Great fun practising running stitch.

We found out about the textile artist Anni Albers. We then considered the weaving process and tried it out with strips of paper and card.
