Here's a snippet of what's been happening....
Foundation students have been weaving with strips of paper onto paper looms and experimenting with a wide variety of threads and textiles woven into plastic netting.
Grades 1/2 have been weaving with colourful paper strips to create a body for their mixed media owls.
They are currently exploring the threads in hessian and making fringing, as well as beginning to thread needles and stitch lines.
Grades 3/4 have been weaving on straw looms, crafting some interestingly textured bookmarks. They are also getting right into finger knitting.
Grades 5/6 have been recycling old CDs and DVDs and transforming them into looms to weave mandalas, dream catchers, coasters and wall hangings. Pom pom making is also a big hit!
And we have all been enjoying sharing and discussing the following books in Art classes.
More photos of completed student work to come.
