In the technique of jacquard weaving, computer-aided design of artistic motifs and a combination of weaving weaves, the students designed woven textiles, which show the individual experience and evaluation of water through visual representations, motifs and patterns. By thinking about water, the students sought inspiration in the lives of people along the Sava and Kokra rivers, in the story of the Sava island and Majdič Mill, and in architecture with river bridges and arches. They explored the life of flora and fauna in and around the water, observed the flow of the river and the river arm, and marveled at the mighty force of the waterfall and rapids. They observed the reflections on the water surface, the movement of the river, remembered their childhood and the first tears that fell on the water surface. They learned about the symbolic meaning of water, people's attitude towards it as a fundamental source of life and wondered about its role, which is crucial for the origin and existence of all living things.
