We have really enjoyed learning about famous artists this year. As our IDL topic is a  Scottish focus we wanted to learn about a famous  Scottish  artist.  We learned about Gillian Kyle who is a textile designer. She is greatly inspired by all things Scottish. We learned that she was born in Renfrewshire and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. She creates designs for products such as aprons, cushions and table mats. She takes her influence from lots of Scottish products such as Tunnocks Teacakes, Caramel Wafers, Irn Bru and haggis. We used Scottish products and looked at the design of their packaging and then created a piece of art in the style of Gillian Kyle.
