I did a week-long project with some Year 5/6 kids to make a summer banner for their school. I designed the background, and they drew their ideas for images and objects that were summer themed. I taught them some handstitch techniques- applique and couching- as well as some collaging methods, and they chose which they wanted for their piece.
I'm so pleased with the result, it's an amazing summer explosion! The kids were so proud of their work, and they helped me with the composition and the narrative of a river running from their school to Robin Hoods Bay (where they had a residential). I hope they keep it up for a long time.
