"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to explore a fascinating way of storytelling using textiles. Textiles are not just materials; they can tell amazing stories. To start, let's take a look at some examples from Baker's books.
[Show examples of textile art inspired by stories]
As you can see, each piece tells a unique story through color, texture, and design. Think about the characters, emotions, and themes represented in these textiles. What do you think are some key narrative elements we can find in textile art?
[Pause for responses and discussion]
Great ideas! Today, you will have the chance to create your very own textile story panel. Let's hear what stories we might be able to tell through our own designs!"
"Now, I'd like you all to get into small groups. Each group will brainstorm personal stories that can be expressed through textiles. Think about special memories, places, or experiences that are significant to you.
[Distribute drawing materials and set up the whiteboard]
You will have 10 minutes. As you brainstorm, I'm going to write down some of your ideas on the whiteboard so we can remember them. Ready? Let’s start!"
[Monitor groups, encouraging discussion and writing down ideas on the whiteboard]
"Alright, everyone! I hope you had some fun brainstorming. Now, let's gather back as a class. Each group needs to select one story that you would like to work on for your textile panel.
While you discuss your chosen story, think about what materials you might want to use. Do you want to incorporate different colors or textures?
[Pass around the selection of textiles]
You will have 15 minutes for this task. Make sure to plan out how you want to represent your chosen story through your textiles. Remember, collaboration is key!"
"Now it’s time to get creative! For the next 10 minutes, you will each start working on your individual textile panels. Use the materials provided, such as fabric swatches, threads, and buttons.
As you create, think about the story you are telling through your piece. Don’t be afraid to express yourself creatively!
[Encourage students as they work]
Remember, there are no wrong answers in art. Let’s see what amazing pieces you can create!"
"Time is up! I’d love to hear about your artworks. A few of you will have the opportunity to share your completed textile panels or your ideas with the class.
When you present, please explain how your story connects to your textile art.
[Select students to present]
Thank you for sharing! It’s wonderful to see all the creativity and personal stories you've put into your work."
"To wrap up today’s lesson, let’s take a moment to reflect. What did you enjoy about creating your textile story panels? Were there any challenges you faced?
[Lead a discussion]
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how storytelling through textiles made you feel. How do you think these skills can be used in other areas of art or life? Thank you for your contributions today! You all did a fantastic job!"
