WOW incredible over sized corsages from the
AS Textile students.
The AS Textile students have been 'ruffling, pleating, gathering & looping' for the last couple of weeks creating their beautiful large corsages inspired by their observations of Alison Willoughby's work. The students have worked & reworked their creations, working from the outside edge & heading for the centre - often realising they needed to retrace their steps & add extra layers. These corsages belie the technical competency required to complete one of these with success (AO1, AO2, AO3, AO4).
We all have had some great fun adding extra fabrics, ribbons, objects to these sumptuous & incredibly heavy textile mini outcomes (if you look at the right-hand image below you'll notice the toy soldier that was snaffled from under the students brothers bed - no toy is safe with a creative Textile student in it).
The student below has added trinkets, florals amongst a wild mixture of fabric ruffles & pleats - all to great effect. She has also added a variety of techniques including sushi rolls, looping, pleating, again expanding her manipulation skills - (AO2).
Of course all of their work has been carefully documented in their sketchbooks (AO3). These students have spent hours & hours on their pages, ensuring that they meticulously observe, experiment, develop, refine their skills & techniques. These students have engaged effectively with a range of materials & techniques and all reflections are recorded, they have made a good start to the foundations of their learning.
