Achieving a Weaving

The 6th- 8th graders have been working on their weaving skills using cardboard looms. Not an easy task to achieve, but some students got so fast at it that they could do an entire 6 inch weave in 20 minutes (Kenda!!!) I will post more pictures next week.

Channa got creative and braided her own yarn.


Breantia added colored beads to her weave.

Meet Matisse

Art Club practiced mixing their primary colors and made a color wheel. Using the six colors from their color wheel, they did their own version of Matisse's Madame, also called the "Green Line".

The eighth grade is also studying Matisse, but they studied his famous cutouts. They used primary colors, figures, and again positive/negative space!
