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.

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.

Paper Fish

For this activity we got to pick two contrasting colors for our fish which are two color that are opposite on the color wheel. We were able to pick our own animal and then trace it on the paper which by having the two colors really made it pop out. We also got to pick our own choice of background pattern that were already cut out pieces of paper. Extension activity: I would bring this project into a science lesson. I would have the student research about the animal that they choice to have on their art project. The students would also have to add five fun facts that they learned on the back of the paper and share with the class.

3D Hot Air Baloon

For this 3D project we created a hot air balloon. To create the 3D illusion, we took a paper plate and glued at least twenty paper strips of paper with space in-between the strips and the plate which created the 3D effect of having depth. Below the hot air balloon, we had to draw a landscape of our choice. Then we also attached cotton balls that were 3D as well to look like clouds. Extension Activity: I would tie this art project into language arts. I would have the students write a paragraph about if they would get to take a ride on a hot air balloon here would they want to go and why. Students would present there air balloon project and read their paragraph to the class.
