Tactile learners learn best through movement.

In Art & crafts our home-schooled children have been looking at images of buildings through feel and texture.

They have got to experience and remember patterns using their fingers creating a texture collage.

This activity helped those experiential artists because it adds a tactile aspect to the activity.

Using a wide range of materials with a variety of textures the children got to cut out random geometrical shapes to create their texture collage.

Our home-schooled children have been looking at the foundations of a picture in order to create a paper collage.

They worked on imitating the texture of the building and created shadows with the black highlights along with the white.

Paper collage is a technique of an art production where the artwork is created using an assemblage of different forms and shapes using paper.

These forms and shapes eventually create a whole image.

The children focused on looking at texture and the feel touch approach to create their paper collage.

Following on from planning and design the children have been working on creating their bags demonstrating their sewing skills using a wide range of materials.

Some of the students opted to use felt material to create their bags.

Felt is a durable, moisture-repellent and heat-insulating material and can be made of both, natural or synthetic fibres.

It is easy to work with and can be used on both sides because both surfaces are the same.

The children went on to draw and cut out the the pattern pieces in order to start stitching.
