During our art lessons this term, the Year 5/6 class have been reusing plastic bags to create bracelets.
We were inspired by the work Ifeoma Anyaeji, who is a contemporary Nigerian artist, whose work repurposes non-recyclable plastic bags and turns them into beautiful sculptures and installations. She uses a technique based on hair threading, a traditional Nigerian method for creating hairstyles which have a sculpture-like quality. We practised plaiting techniques to create our pieces of art.
