Self Image (QCA Unit 7a)

This project was done by Year 8 pupils at Dingleside Middle School, Redditch with Sian Kibblewhite. The work involved the use of a digital camera for taking portraits and e-mail to make contact with the textile artist in America. The children interviewed Deidre Scherer by e-mail and sent her digital images of their work. This later resulted in them sending their original work to be included in one of her exhibitions.
