Research and discuss at least one artist who uses folding techniques in their artwork, and explain how that artist’s work influences their own design choices.
Apply creasing, pleating and knotting techniques to create a folded artwork (a decorative fan, a paper bag or a fabric rosette) using available media.
Use art-specific vocabulary (creasing, pleating, knotting, folding) to describe their own and peers’ work during display and reflection.
