In this unit of work students researched the meanings and uses of symbolism from the wide range of cultures represented by the student cohort.
Students responded to their research to design and create fabric welcome banners using personal and cultural symbolism to bring fortune inspired by the tradition of toran banners in India. Students experimented with tie dye and fabric painting techniques.
Students were encouraged to bring in their own personal symbols to incorporate into their designs as well as researching and responding to artefacts and symbols from other cultures.
