P-2 ~ Paper Weaving

"Over and under, over and under" - you will have heard us chanting in the Art Room lately!! We've been fine-tuning our fine motor skills and getting ready for our unit of work on Threads and Textiles. "In and out, up and down..."

Yes! We've been weaving! The students have been so keen to learn all about woven objects in the world around us (baskets, clothing, rugs, nests, placemats etc). They were fascinated when watching a video of a man weaving a basket out of blades of long grass.

So we had a go at weaving ourselves and used lovely coloured strips of paper to create all sorts of bright and patterned artworks. Well done P-2 students - you are ready to move on to sewing now!
