The inspiration was Gustav Klimt’s Tree of Life in combination with a giant fabric tree made by a collective group called Pirate Technic. The students were given recycled materials and basic structures to work with. They worked in teams along with art teachers and members of Learning Support to wrap the bases in padding and then their fabrics of choice. Once they were completed students were able to use their imaginations and create tags and images to hang on the trees to represent themselves, subjects, interests etc.

Over the day was a great success and the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have created some spectacular pieces.
