Second grade students learned a new art form- weaving! Weaving is an art form where strips of material are interlaced to create a single form. Second graders used warm and cool colored paper!
This project took two weeks for students to make. During the first week, students learned how to identify warm and cool colors. We separated warm and cool colored tissue paper and used liquid glue to collage them onto thick paper. Students were told that I would be cutting their warm and cool colored tissue paper collages for a new project. They were very excited for the surprise!
The next week, we reviewed warm and cool colors and learned about weaving. Students were very excited because they had never made a weaving before! We learned that objects we use regularly such as blankets, clothing and baskets are made by weaving. After a quick demonstration, students used their warm and cool color strips and a black construction paper loom to create their finished project.
They turned out beautifully! Maybe making woven baskets will be in the future?
