Heartz



Heartz Teaching Notes

* These blocks are meant to have backgrounds that are a little crazy. Some students love the effect of adding slivers of different colours or prints in, others prefer a crisper look, and there are always students that are in a hurry! For those ‘non craziez’ encourage them to cut their backgrounds for the next size up.

*With simple designs like these, colour becomes very important. My sample uses two fabrics for each heart with some dominating and others receding. They glow because of this. Help students choose their outcome then work the fabrics to suit. It may simply be a matter of reordering placement in the heartz or the backgrounds.

*Everyone's heartz will be a little different. Some are squat and blocky, others are tall and finer. Make students aware that it is the placement of the backgrounds that defines the heart shape and that the placement can be tweaked to produce a different result.
