In Year 1, we have been learning from the amazing weave artist, Anni Albers. Anni was German. She loved the idea of weaving because it lets ‘Art meets Craft’, and she was really keen on using different textures in her weaves, too!

The children have really enjoyed learning about Anni, creating a collage imitation of her work, learning how to weave, planning a weave and finally … creating a weave!

You could ask your children at home:

– Where was Anni from and how did she show this in her weaves?
– What is texture?
– What is pattern?

Here are some sketchbook photos. Thank you for all being such great artists, Year 1! 🙂
