Monday 4 th May WALT Design and make your own fan design using Japanese influences Overview: Japan has become known for the quality and beauty of their hand fans. The popularity of the fans spread across Europe through trade and the Silk Road where they were much coveted as decorative art pieces. By the 18th and 19th century, many European women from all social classes carried a folding fan. Today, folding fans are one of the most convenient ways to cool off.

Activity: Create a fan from an A4 or A3 piece of paper. Watch the video link below then follow each step carefully. Draw a Japanese inspired picture, Japanese writing or other Japanese image on each side of the paper, leaving the centre strip blank, then fold like a concertina. Don’t forget to staple or stick the 2 sides of your fan together. Take a photo of it and send it to me so that they can be posted on the class blog.
