A Year Makes a Difference in Design Consciousness
By Kathy In Sewing On September 29, 2014
In my school children design their own soft sculptures. The image on the left was taken a year prior to the one on the right. You can see in the photos above, that this student’s sense of design has matured. On the left she embraces a rather typical stuffed animal. On the right she is working with essentials and letting go of details. Do you recognize that it’s a penguin? I didn’t tell her to do this; I recognize and feed back to my students what I see. That way they learn to identify what they have accomplished. There is no right or wrong to their accomplishments. This makes them free to come up with something different the next time. Meanwhile their creations are art; have you ever seen the like of this penguin?
