Below is a link to an info pack for all schools taking part in the CAST ‘Cloth Uncut’ commonwealth games art project.
If you haven’t signed up for the project, please feel free to use the info in the pack for any commonwealth games projects you may be planning anyway.
The ‘Cloth Uncut’ primary visual art project involves pupils working with a lead artist who will work with your pupils to create a piece of cloth which represents Scotland’s welcome to the Commonwealth in 2014. Based on iconic images of Scotland and words of welcome and support, the pupils will design and produce a length of uncut cloth, inspired by the traditional approaches to cloth making from Scotland and either of our two twinning nations (as designated by The Commonwealth Games and ‘Game On Scotland”). These are Swaziland and Cyprus.
The pack contains information on collecting iconic images of Scotland, looking at african and cypriot textiles, comparing facts about Swaziland, Cyprus and Scotland and info on the Commonwealth Games.
