CLASS OVERVIEW
As art progressed through the Rennaisance and Medieval time, it often got bigger and grander. But not all churches were cathedrals, and had little or no money for art; but yet art was still important. So one of the arts that was created was QUILLING.
It was started by nuns in France and Italy; it simply used strips of paper, coiled into spirals and shapes to create a bigger design. Some of this work was so intricate and detailed, it mimicked the beautiful iron scroll work often featured in the cathedrals. Since gold was very prominent in church works, the nuns even went through the step of stripping the guilded pages of books of their gold edges to feature this in their quilling work.
PROJECT
Students created quilled creations, rolling paper strips into their own designs.
