Woven Hearts
I can create repetitive heart drawings and use construction paper to weave the pieces together.
Weaving is one of the most ancient forms of human creativity. Baskets and textiles would not have been possible without weaving. This project will give students experience working with the basic concept of weaving and is a supportive activity for Native American, Mexican and other cultural studies. The process of measuring and counting the weave will also strengthen math skills.
Weaving — The process of forming cloth or fabric on a loom by interlacing yarn or thread (or, as in this case, paper).
Loom — A frame for weaving yarn or thread into cloth or fabric.
Warp — Threads running lengthwise on the loom. The warp is placed on the loom prior to beginning the weaving process (Up and Down).
Weft — Threads that are weaved across the warp threads to form the web (Left to Right).
Web — The cloth or fabric produced by weaving.
