Previous Experience



Children have been introduced to ‘Scottish Culture’ through cross-curricular learning in preparation
for a whole school event on St Andrews Day – ‘A Celebration of Scottish Culture’
Children, in groups, have researched the origins and design of tartan and compiled a mood board and
proto-type tartan design.
Children have created a 2D image of their group tartan design using the technique of wax resist,
whilst exploring the visual elements of Art and Design and the deployment of different media tools.
Working towards outcomes of a Curriculum for Excellence/5-14 Attainment Targets
EXA 2-03a - I can create and present work that shows developing skill in using the visual elements and
concepts.

ASSESSMENT
Methods

Consider the visual
elements, within art and
design, when creating a 2D
image of their tartan, using
the technique of weaving.

Demonstrate an
understanding of the visual
elements, namely; Tone,
Colour, Pattern and Texture
in relation to the tartan they
have created.

Explore a wide range of
media, examining the
appropriateness of methods
and tools selected in relation
to the technique paper
weaving.

Demonstrate an
understanding of the
technique of weaving,
through the adoption and
deployment of appropriate
media.
Observation
 Production of a 2D image of
the group tartan design
- Does the design
incorporate aspects of
the visual elements of
art and design?
- Have the children
selected appropriate
media in order to
achieve the most
aesthetic results? (Paper
Type)
- Have the children
adopted appropriate
technique/methods in
their application of
weaving?
Peer Assessment
 Of completed 2D image of
tartan weave. This will take
the form of two stars and a
wish.
Timing
Resources
Setting the context/ Beginning the lesson (Introduction)


Revisit knowledge gained in previous lessons, and across
the curriculum, in relation to the culture of Scotland.
Introduce lesson activity – producing tartan design from
previous lesson (Lesson 1) using the technique of weaving.
Stimuli (will be used
throughout lesson)


Scottish Music
Reference Books –
10mins


Display/Provide examples of weaving and hold a short
discussion with the children to ensure they understand the
process involved.
- Do any of the children have prior knowledge of the
technique? If so can they demonstrate to the class?
- Where might we see examples of weaving? Baskets,
Housing/Shelter/Roofing, Scarves, Rugs, Clothing
- What types of media do we think would be used in
the technique of weaving? Wool/Yarn, Thread,
Paper
WALT – (see LI)

Tartan Patterns
Sample of Tartan –
to allow children
to examine texture
Teaching the learning intentions (Development)


10mins

3mins
22mins
Introduce the technique of weaving by modelling an
example to the children.
Short class discussion on what types of media (namely
Paper) the children think would achieve the most aesthetic
and effective results when using the technique of weaving
to produce their tartan design.
Demonstrate the different types of media which can be used
for weaving – highlight the varying levels of effectiveness
for each tool – i.e;
- Sugar paper achieves a better result than tissue
paper/newsprint – why is this? Ask the children
(properties of paper/different gsm – what does this
mean, question children and explain)
- Medium thickness card achieves a better result than
cardboard – again explain the reasoning for this
- Different gsm of paper will provide different results
in the technique of wax resist.
 Formally set the activity – Children are to experiment with
different media types (namely different types/gsm of paper
 Tissue, newsprint, sugar, card, cardboard) before
selecting a combination of paper types which they feel will
produce the most effective result for weaving.
- Children to be given 5mins to experiment with different
types of media (paper types) before moving on to begin the
production of their tartan.  Children will need to exercise
the following aspects of Enterprising skills;
- Decision Making
- Reasoning
- Communication
- Negotiation
 Children to be advised that each person in the group will
produce an image of their group tartan. All completed work
will then be displayed in the school hall as decoration for
the whole school event; ‘A taste of Scotland’s Culture’ on
St Andrews Day
 Upon selection of their paper types the children will then
have the opportunity to decorate/colour their paper, in
accordance with their proto-type tartan design, using a
variety of media tools – crayon, oil pastels, paint, chalk,
Examples of Weaving –
Cloth, Leafs, Roof
Building (images of)
Sugar/Poster/Card/Tissue/
Cardboard/ Newsprint,
paints, palettes, paint
brushes, water/water tubs,
oil pastels, crayons, chalk,
glue.
5mins
coloured paper (if available in their chosen paper type) etc.
 Children will need to exercise the following aspects of
Enterprising skills;
- Decision Making
- Reasoning
- Communication
 Children will now move onto weave their decorated paper
together to form their tartan design.
 Upon completion/production of the tartan children will
place finished work in the drying racks which will act as a
storage facility until designs are displayed in the hall.
 Class tidy up
Completed tartan images
will be examined on
drying racks.
Ending the lesson (Plenary)

10mins



Peer assessment of completed tartans (this will be done
within groups  Group A will assess B and vice versa,
Group C will assess D)
Two stars and a wish will be used as an assessment strategy
Review/discussion on observations noted during the activity
- What worked well, why?
- What did not work, why?
- What paper types worked most effectively
- i.e. Card/Sugar/Tissue/Newsprint/Cardboard
