Week 8 & 9: May 11-22 WEAVING!!
Hi artists! I’m so excited that we are moving onto our last unit for digital learning… WEAVING! I know you all love weaving and I hope you will enjoy one of the options below! Please look at the materials needed and choose one weaving lesson you can do with items you have at home. You can also do another stitching or sewing project you already have at home!


Do you want to do a lesson that requires yarn but don’t have any at home? Make Plarn (plastic bag yarn) or T-shirt yarn! Click below to learn how. Both are a great way to RECYCLE!

Choose one lesson below and work for 20 minutes/week ðŸŽĻ
You do not have to send me photos of your weaving work but of course I would 💗 to see what you make!!
Option 1 – Kumihimo


MATERIALS: Cardboard, Scissors, Yarn (seven 18” long pieces)
DIRECTIONS: Video

Option 2 - Recycled Basket Weaving



MATERIALS: Cereal box cardboard, Ruler, Pencil, Scissors, Adhesive (glue, tape, or stapler)
DIRECTIONS: Video
This lesson is best for 3rd-5th grade. It will take 40 minutes or more to complete the basket so plan to break it up over multiple sessions or wait until you have a bigger chunk of time.




Option 3 - Branch Weaving

Week 2: March 23-27 Assignments


Happy Week 2 of digital learning young artists! I am so looking forward to the fun photos your parents will share with me this week of these art assignments! You can see some of the photos from last week on my Twitter account

Your special areas teachers collaborated on this week's fun Bingo Board! (&lt; click here to see it) I highlighted the Art squares in yellow to make them easy to find!
  • 3rd-5th grade: Make sure you choose at least one Art square and work for 20 minutes on your assignment. Save your project to turn in when we return to school. If you choose the Andy Goldsworthy or Color Wheel square (and I really hope you will!), post a picture of your finished product at the link included in the square. Post only your first name with your photo!
  • K-2nd grade: You are not required to complete an assignment for art during digital learning. I KNOW you all love being creative though so your special area teachers made a Bingo Board for you too! This is NOT required and just for fun!
Please let me know if you need help with your assignment or if you just want to say hi! The best ways to reach me are argentina@fultonschools.org, @sweetappleesart on Twitter, or @sweetappleart on Instagram.
