Thank you to Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artist Blog for the idea!
4th grade students first started by weaving in a circular pattern. Choosing either warm, cool or neutral color looms. Then I gave creative power to the students on how they wanted their backgrounds to look. I gave a few guidelines such as to show visual texture and/or unity with their weaving. I loved the results and the opportunity to see my students evolve as creative and thoughtful artists.
