Embellish and evaluate
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can embellish and evaluate my own textile artwork
Key learning points
- Embellishment can be added to a weaving using buttons, beads, stitch and fabric.
- Know that evaluating artwork is an important part of the design process.
- Know how to offer feedback to other artists, to help them improve over time.
Keywords
Embellish - to add extra details or decorations to a textile
Evaluate - when we think about our artwork to understand how good it is and how we could make it better
Feedback - sharing your ideas about other people’s artwork
Common misconception
Evaluating is only saying what you like or dislike
Remind pupils that evaluation is more than just saying what we like or dislike about an artwork. It should help an artist improve their work over time.
Teacher tip
Pupils might find it useful to have threads and yarn pre-cut into lengths to help them complete the sewing element. If being completed in the Autumn term, pupils could complete the embelishment in guided groups with adult support.
Equipment
fabrics strips, buttons, beads, threads or yarn, needles
