Lesson details
Key learning points
- Artists explore the theme of inside and outside in different ways.
- Artists use thresholds, barriers, and liminal spaces to express ideas.
- Artists make choices about materials, techniques, and design elements to communicate meaning.
- You can reflect on your own connections and ideas through textile art.
Keywords
Space - the area around, between, and within objects. It can be physical, like a room, or it can be visual
Barrier - things that block, separate, or divide spaces, people, or ideas
Threshold - a point of transition between two spaces
Liminal - means in between; it describes a space, time, or feeling that is on the threshold between two things
Common misconception
Inside and outside just means indoors and outdoors.
Inside and outside can also mean emotional states, identity, or private vs public. Artists use space, scale, and materials to explore physical and psychological boundaries.
