GOLDEN TAPESTRY |
The Golden Tapestry is a Commonwealth wide project for schools and has involved 1800 Primary and Special Schools across the whole Commonwealth. We have been extremely pleased and excited to be involved in such an event. Our school has made a metre square of textural embroidery depicting our 50th Anniversary Fancy Dress Parade through places of interest in Antrim town. It depicts the famous Viking Round Tower, the Castle grounds and their varied vegetation, the blossom on the trees, the shores of Lough Neagh, the reeds and the indigenous fish and eels. 130 children from the year groups Primary 1 to Primary 7 were involved in creating our tapestry. We commenced work in April 2005 and completed it in January 2006. Many art techniques were used such as weaving, painting, drawing, printing, ink washing, collaging and stitching. We have been very excited by this project. We have enjoyed the various stages of our "tapestry making" and have learned, experimented with and used many skills - most of all, though - we had FUN! The picture above shows our tapestry displayed in the foyer before being sent away. a programme of exhibitions across the Commonwealth is planned in 2006, culminating in a final exhibition of all canvasses from all the participating schools at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in March 2006. Our school's tapestry will be one of the 1800 combined to make "The Golden Tapestry" - what an honour! |

This is a picture of another tapestry completed in Antrim Primary School. This was a Millennium tapestry, made by six classes comprising the P1 and P4 year groups. This was part of a display at the Millennium Dome in 2000. 1500 Primary and Special schools were involved. Another super piece of work from the pupils of Antrim Primary School, I'm sure you will agree! |
