Cultures from across the globe have become the starting point for my year 10's next project. Students have been selecting the rich visual resources found in non western cultures. They have been researching the way in which celebrations and customs from various cultures change their appearance to reflect a belief or tradition.
The final piece of this unit of work will be to create a clay relief which is an individual interpretation of a students chosen culture. It will have an emphasis on pattern, colour and decoration.
This weeks task involved working in teams towards a common purpose- to work on a model to paint and style them before taking a photograph of the results. They were given a jumbled box of fabric, decorative objects, images, face paints and a camera. The students worked with real maturity they were all immediately engaged and worked hard within a time frame to produce these stunning results.
