During our Pole to Pole unit, the children are immersed in creativity through activities such as Den Building, Arctic cooking and silk painting. Silk painting is a multi-step process. So far, the children created their initial designs taking inspiration from their learning, images and books about the polar regions. The next step was to create their final design. Here, they used oil pastels and pencil colours to create a design that was to scale for the silk frames. The children were careful, due to their understanding of gutta, as to not sketch objects too small – as this detail would not be able to be replicated to a hig-quality during the gutta process.
