1st Gr Paper Weaving: Castles

Students learned how to weave with paper. Then we looked at examples of castles and added architectural details to our castles. Thank you #anotherartteacher for the fun idea!

4th Gr Loom Weaving

Students learned about the history of weaving and what kinds of uses ancient people had for woven fabrics. Students looked at my portfolio of woven fabrics and I explained the job of a textile designer. They looked at ancient fabrics from the Incas in South America and fabrics woven by modern artists such as Sheila Hicks.

                  Students learned what a loom is and how to wind a warp.

5th Gr Paper Weaving

Students first created two paintings. They created botanical paintings by looking at silk flowers, leaves and pinecones. Once these paintings were done, they wove them together.
