Sunflowers in February

Textile Art workshop for Year 2 at St Martins, Hereford

Year 2 had been studying famous people as a topic and had been introduced to Van Gogh. We took the sunflowers pictures as inspiration and made a wall hanging to decorate the reception hallway.

It was quite a challenge to work with all 48 children, involve them in the process and still come up with a respectable piece of artwork to display at the end of the day!

The children were divided into groups of 8 and then we split the day into half hour sessions. The idea for this wall hanging has evolved over 3 weeks, I really wanted the children to work with fabric and would have loved to have included some sewing. Reality check meant that we swopped stitches for glue but we were all very happy with the effect from using lots of different fabrics.

There's more photos on the Make and Take Away Facebook page click HERE to see

Had an email back from the school......

Thanks so much for the work that you did with our year two children.
The wallhanging looks fantastic and many people have sought me out to
tell me how much they love it.....so thanks
