Week of 10/16/2023 - 2nd and 3rd grade Castle creating and Motif making - Part 2

 2nd and 3rd grade students returned to complete their castles and weaving respectively!

2nd graders used paper of different colors to draw shapes on, cut, glue and assemble on black card stock. They used metallic markers to add lines and details when done. I had a gallery walk with all classes so they could see what other students had created. It was great to see the influences from the examples they saw the previous week.

Here are examples of student works!

 3rd graders created their woven artwork using 2" paper strips on a 12"x18" paper with lines spaced 2" apart that I had pre-drawn. I had them fold their paper, cut the vertical lines (warp), add horizontal strips (weft), and glue the ends so the strips would be in place.. I demonstrated rows 1 and 2 after which I had them work independently. I reminded them that if their current row looked the same as their previous row, they had to fix it.

Once done students added motif #1 on one color and motif #2 on the other color to complete their works. There was so much variety in their works!
