Weaving Craft

For this craft project we created a yarn bracelet. We created the weaving by picking three different colors and weaving through three straws that were taped together on the end. To create the next color to be incorporated we would tie a little knot to the other color of yarn , so that once it ran out the new color would start. Once we were done weaving we knotted the end and pulled the straws out from the yarn.
Extension Activity: This project could be tied into a Social Studies lesson. We had learned about the Native American culture that weaving originated from, so I would have the students create a mini power point on Native American culture to the class. Native American culture is a wide culture that we have here in South Dakota, so it would really benefit the students.

Dot Painting

For this project we drew out a rose in pencil and then created three different shades of the color of our choice. I used the color blue. Then we took q-tips and dotted the different colors on our drawing. For the background I chose to use colored pencil and shade it in and add some green leaves. Extension Activity: I would have students write a paragraph about their favorite type of flower and what they like about that certain type of flower. I would also have it so that students would go out and take a picture of an actual flower as well.

Clay Coil Pot

I was the teacher for this clay lesson. Everyone created their own coil pot that had to be at least five coils high. It was made out of air-dry clay. Students had to learn how to wedge and slip & score to build their pot. The students had to either add texture, paint , or they were able to even do both if they wanted. Extension Activity: I would incorporate this into a science lesson. Each student would create their own coil pot and then we would plant a seed in it. The students would watch their plant grow and learn about what the essential things are that a plant needs to be able to grow.

Name Drawing

In this drawing lesson it was focused on creating lines. We used a white piece of paper and had to create our name or nickname in the center of the paper. We traced our name in black sharpie and then then were told to shade our name in a solid color. The rest of the paper had to be filed with a bunch of different patterns. We had to incorporate different drawing tools I used crayons, markers and colored pencils. Extension Activity: An extension activity for this project would be to have the students write a paragraph about why they picked the designs for the background of their drawing. I would also have students write about what their favorite colors are.
