Forth graders learned about the craft of weaving in Colonial Virginia in this lesson. They brainstormed example of weaving in their every day life & utilized previous knowledge of radial design in art. . Because of time constraint, I prepared the looms for them along with the help of a parent volunteer! They learned about important vocabulary with weaving such as the loom, warp, and weft!
Students chose 3 colors of yarn to in their weaving. The hardest part was getting started. Once they figured out the over, under, over, under pattern they were on a roll!
After the loom was full, they used markers to decorate extra room on their paper plate.
