The aim of this research is to engage with the concept of resilience—understood both as a physical-material property of textiles and as an educational concept within the context of art education—and to examine their interactions. The term "resilience" originates from materials science and describes the ability of a material to return to its original form after being subjected to stress. Starting from the phenomenon of textiles under extreme conditions—such as tension, heat, friction, or tearing—this study investigates how textiles physically manifest resistance, adaptability, and regenerative potential. This material-based form of resilience is systematically compared with psychological resilience, which is understood as the ability to cope constructively with crises. Using an art-educational figure, this comparison is transferred into creative and practical teaching processes. Textile actions such as tearing, repairing, or interweaving are used as metaphorical tools to make resilience tangible and a topic of discussion in art education. Additionally, the method of Introvision is integrated into the didactic approach. Introvision, a mindfulness-based method of self-reflection, supports students in perceiving and regulating inner conflicts while adopting a non-judgmental observational stance. In combination with textile processes, this method fosters deeper engagement with one’s own emotions and strengthens self-awareness. The goal is to integrate resilience not only as a topic but also as a creative-didactic principle into art educational learning environments. The transfer into teaching practice is achieved through hands-on task formats, material experiments, and didactic models that combine textile creation with emotional and social education. In this way, textile transformation becomes an innovative approach for resilience-oriented learning in the school context.
