Textile <strong>and</strong> mixed-media assemblage<br />

Context<br />

This work was part of an extended project in which pupils explored their interests <strong>and</strong> environment. <strong>The</strong> aim<br />

was to explore mixed media to develop work on the theme of identity <strong>and</strong> self-image. Students studied the<br />

work of the artists Mary Bero to provide inspiration <strong>and</strong> a starting point for their own exploration.<br />

In this stage of the project pupils used their earlier research <strong>and</strong> experiments to create mixed-media<br />

collages. <strong>The</strong>se combined different textile techniques with collage, painted <strong>and</strong> drawn elements, including<br />

text.<br />

Textile <strong>and</strong> mixed media collage<br />

<strong>The</strong> influence of earlier experiments in spontaneous drawing <strong>and</strong> the use of text as a means of creating<br />

texture are clearly seen here.<br />
