Weaving
October 29, 2008
In art today we weaved (or wove)! You probably are wondering what it is.
Let me explain. To begin with you need 5 or 3 plastic straws. Then you put a piece of twine through each straw and tape the top. The fun part is to pick out the color yarn you like the most. I chose an awesome bright blue and a gorgeous, dazzling white. Then you can start weaving!! You tie the end of the yarn to the end straw. Then you go in and out, in and out with the yarn. When you get to the bottom of the straws you push some of your beautiful masterpiece onto the twine. Tie a knot in the twine so you know where to stop. Push all of your design to the knot when you are finished.
In our art class with Mrs.McE we added beads, pompoms and more. You could have even made a long woven snake!!! (Check out the snail that Matt made in the picture above.) It was a very creative, marvelous class!!!
