Summerbank Primary, Tunstall, June 2009
Commissioned as Residential Artists, we started working with the students of Summerbank Primary on 8th June. The topic was 'Oceans'. All the artwork is to be displayed high in the dining room ceiling space.
We started with Nursery and Reception children who all wove cellophane over a pre-made fish shape.
During the second week we worked with Year 1 and Year 2. These children wove a pre-made willow fish shape with fabric, cellophane and recyclates. this produced some very dramatic effects!
In week 3 we worked with all of Year 5 and Year 6, in teams of 5 at a time to construct a Stingray. This was done with wet strength tissue ove a willow frame. The children chose the type of fish and the colour scheme.
