During this lesson, Fourth Grade students will explore, understanding, and discover the vast range of processes in Fiber Arts. By recognizing specific color schemes, students will plan and envision the yarn, string, and other objects used to create a specific color scheme. Students will learn how to dress a cardboard loom, study other types of looms, and test out the meditation aspect of weaving. They will choose to create a 3” by 5” mug rug, wall hanging, or a pouch (weaving around both sides of the loom).
