Fifth Grade learned about the textile called tapestry and its many uses, including insulation, decoration, and demonstrating a person's wealth. We discussed the different themes often exhibited in 16th century tapestry, such as biblical stories, mythological creatures, and scenes from daily life. Using the art of quilling, or paper filigree, each class created a representation of one of the most well known tapestries on the early 16th century,
The Unicorn in Captivity. See a sample of their fantastic work below!
