Before starting the final project the students practiced the over under technique on a smaller piece of card stock.
Examples of Finished Weavings
This site is designed as a place to share the art experiences of the students at Earl Warren Elementary. Each grade level receives four weeks of art instruction thanks to the generosity of the Fremont Presbyterian Church. I am happy to have the opportunity to follow in the creative steps of Judy Kennedy who originated this art program. I hope you enjoy the students art as much as I do.

2/3 Combo Class: Recycle Weaving
Continuing with the idea of recycling we started a project on weaving using recycled materials. We began by painting discarded pieces of cardboard to use as the "warp". After the paint was dry I used a paper cutter to make 1" wide vertical strips (the slits stopped 1" from the top of the cardboard).
The students were given a variety of "weft" materials to choose from such as cardboard, foil, plastic garbage bags, raffia, twine, yarn, wallpaper scraps, painted paper scraps etc.....
