LC: To plan and design a textile scene from the Bayeux tapestry.

     During our History lessons, we found out about the Bayeux Tapestry and learned that this is a piece of textile art work that tells a story. We are going to be teaching others about what we have learned about the Battle of Hastings through our own textile work. We will be engineers. 

Below is an example of what we will be making. 

First you will need to choose the image that you want to make and then you will need to think of how you can simplify the parts so you can produce them in textile.

Have a look at the images below to help you decide which part of the story you want to make.

In engineering, you first have to plan what you are going to make. You need to know why you are making it and who for. What is the purpose?  You have to decide what materials you will use and what skills will be needed. 

When you draw your image, remember not to make to over detailed or it will be too hard to make in textiles.
