As part of DS1 holiday work, he's been asked to interpret two art pieces, one of i tecognise as (The Scream) in 'Winding style' OR choose the work of an artist he likes and interpret in in Winding style. Poblem is DS has no idea what a Winding is and neither do I. We've googled it but still none the wiser.
Ds has four pieces of Art work to do and this is the last one, can anyone help ?

I'm a professional artist and I'm utterly stumped by this.
Does your ds have any Facebook friends he could ask? I know my dneice does this when she's confused. Sorry can't help more. I wish art teachers would sometimes make themselves clearer. My eldest dneice was hugely confused by some of her holiday GCSE art homework. She asked me for help once and I sent her off in the totally wrong direction

Well, if you have lots of molten beeswax, resin and pigments, you could copy the style of Ezshwan Winding (although the technique doesn't sound far off using tonnes of layers of crayon and then scraping bits off...). Or Ruth Winding specialises in gilded paintings... according to Google.
Or you could assume you have misread "Winding" and that it actually means "Wingding" and get your ds to type a load of nonsense on the computer...

The first proj.was to make a full colour copy of a picasso picture(attached).
The second was to Set up your still life picture and paint or colour in using materials of choice.
The third was to make a large scale drawing of men's shoes, choosing own drawing materials.
The fourth says, 'Make a 'Winding' in the style of the example given. Either:
A)Copy the Klinet version -your own interpretation
B) Choose your own picture by a famous artist and interpret in Winding.
We have an A4 copy of 'The Scream' attached and another A4 indescribable drawing (its sort of a photocopy of stripey things if that makes any sense)
Ds has chosen to do B, as he doesnt know what a 'Klinet' is either 
, we basically have The Scream and this funny looking colour photocopy of horizontal lines as our reference points.
rabbit yes i thought of 'Windings' as well

Well after staring at the two pics for forever, ds said he thinks the lines are actually made using string! Kind of ties in with what tethersend is suggesting, he said if he's got lots of string he can it to make said art work, but i'm still not sure we're completely u derstanding the full requirement. DS has emailed his art teacher.
By the way, it is hand written! I've read it about a million times and it definitely says 'Winding'. It all seems very kryptic and i'm convinced the answer is staring us in the face, we're just not well...arty enough!

Oh my God! I've just looked it again and tethersend where we thought it said 'Klinet' is definitely 'Klimt' (although we dont know what that is either, on to google).
Thank you all for your help please keep the ideas coming
