Key Stage 2

Art KS2 Unit 5C (Year 5/6): Talking textiles

In this unit children explore how stories have been represented in textiles in different times and cultures. They work together to make a two- or three-dimensional work based on a familiar story, myth or legend. They investigate and use a range of materials, techniques and textile processes to create surface patterns and textures and other visual and sound effects.
