4th and 5th graders came back for another week of rotation with me!
4th grade created embroidery using running stitches on burlap. I shared several examples of the embroidery I created when I was studying textile design during my Master's program in India!
Students learned how to:-
use an embroidery hoop,
threading a needle,
tape the end to the burlap,
trace outline of objects and
go up and down with the needle to create stitches!
They filled in their shape with oil pastes and Sharpie markers. Several students commented on how the pastels worked well on the burlap!
Once done they came back another day where they each glued their fabric onto a poster board, framed their work using tin foil and used a popsicle stick to attach to their work and tie yarn to hang it.
5th grade worked on weaving like the 4th grade from last week. I differentiated the lesson by having them work on additional warp yarns and giving them the option to add extra weft when done. Students explored using yarns of different colors, thickness and lengths to create their work. It was a joy to watch students help each other and repeatedly tell me the weaving process is calming!
