Texas Hill Country Tree Weaving

4th graders study Texas Hill Country in their classrooms, so we built on that knowledge to create the background for our weaving.  We looked at several examples of Texas Hill country landscapes and students created their own version for their background.  After painting their landscape and creating their warp strings as the tree trunk and branches, students began weaving the tops of their trees.  Some students chose to add beads to represent fruits in their trees, while others choose wild colors to demonstrate their artistic choices.  All so different, but all so wonderful!
