Third Graders studied Native American Weavings. We discussed patterns and techniques. We used some basic color theory (warm vs. cool colors) to choose a palette for the paper weavings they would be creating. Using an over, under, over, under pattern, students created either a straight or wavy lined weaving!
First students chose a color scheme and made a loom. This is done by folding a paper in half and cutting slits into the paper. Some students used straight lines, some used wavy.
Students then used appropriate colors to weave a pattern.
In previous years, I have had the students do leaf monoprints using the opposite color scheme on top of their weavings, but this year time did not allow.
