Lesson 2: Exploring materials

Learners needing support:

• Could focus on one or two techniques, such as twisting or weaving, instead of exploring all methods.
• Could use pre-cut materials to make handling easier.
• Could make a video to record findings orally rather than writing them down.

Learners working at a stretch:

• Should experiment with combining different techniques, such as twisting and weaving together to create more complex textures.
• Should explain in their notes how the materials change when shaped, twisted or woven.
• Could connect to Okore’s use of biodegradable materials by reflecting on how their artwork would change over time if left outside.
