Funky Flying Flags

 



Edgewater College learning challenge - Design an original flag.  This year the Edgewater College students created their own flags. Through the use of creative and intuitive thought and action, learners in the arts are able to view their world from new perspectives. Through the development of arts literacies, students, as creators, presenters, viewers, and listeners, are able to participate in, interpret, value, and enjoy the arts throughout their lives.


Learning objectives:   

  • Explore a variety of materials and tools and discover elements and selected principles.

  • Investigate visual ideas in response to a variety of motivations, observation, and imagination.

  • Share the ideas, feelings, and stories communicated by their own and others’ objects and images.                                                                                   


What did we do?                     


  1. We looked at lots of different flags. 


  1. We made our original individual flag designs on paper. 


  1. We transferred our favourite designs onto fabric.



  1. Sandy the teacher brought her sewing machines to school to help the students sew the hems on their flags. 


  1. We inserted the rope and hand sewed it.


  1. We painted our flag. We used pencil, pens, paint brushes and fabric paint to make our flags nice and colourful. 


  1. Then we went outside to fly our flags. 

  

We filmed the process for our Manaiakalani Film Festival film.
