Easy Wall Hanging Art Activity For All Ages

This is a project that was shared with me by Professor Lillian Kartisnko, She creates beautiful silk wall hangings. The project provides the student  an opportunity to create these wall hangings on a smaller scale, experimenting with hand made stamps, stenciling and painting techniques. The focus of this project is on pattern, and the use of visual texture making that helps pull everything together with unity.
