5th graders created a unique, mixed media, fiber art piece. Each student started with a square of cardboard that they painted and then created texture using various non-traditional art tools. They then learned three different string art designs as well as created a few of their own. When dry, we made a circle on the reverse side and punched 16 equally spaced holes on the perimeter. Using art, math and sewing, the students combined the newly learned designs and their individual creations to make a wonderfully, original artwork.

ReplyDeletethanks!
Thank you for your interest in our project. The kiddos had a great time making their unique string art. We punched the initial holes with a push pin; then made them a little bigger using a large, rounded edge sewing needle.
