  1. Weaving Wonders Presented by: Christine Schebilski And Sue Ambrioso FAEA Conference October, 2013

  2. Students will learn the process of weaving, and explore the importance of textiles in their lives. NGSSS 6- 8: VA.68.H.2.2 Explain the impact artwork and utilitarian objects have on the human experience. VA.68.S.1.4 Use accurate art vocabulary to explain the creative and art-making processes. VA.68.S.3.5 Apply two-dimensional techniques and media to create or enhance three-dimensional artwork. VA.68.S.2.2 Create artwork requiring sequentially ordered procedures and specified media to achieve intended results.

  3. Get motivated! Think about the fibers in your clothing, linens, and other fabrics. Each one is made from a textile of several different fibers that are interlocked together. You will be making a sturdy textile of interlocked newspapers.

  4. Journal Explain, in your sketchbook or journal, what life would be like without woven fabrics in your life. Which ones seem most important? For example: clothing, bed sheets, towels; what other textiles could you not live without? Make a list of your top 3 and explain why they are your favorites.

  5. Fibers Slender, threadlike materials that come from animals (silk, wool), plants (linen, flax, cotton), and chemicals (nylon, rayon).

  6. Cloth made by knitting or weaving threads together. An artwork made from cloth or fibers, such as yarn. textile fabric

  7. Loom A frame or machine used to hold yarn and other fibers for weaving, usually at right angles to one another.

  8. Weave- A process of interlocking thread, yarn, or other fibers to create a fabric, usually on a loom. Warp- In weaving, the vertical threads attached to the top and bottom of a loom. Weft- The threads that cross over and under the warp fibers on a loom.

  9. Repeated colors, lines, shapes, forms, or textures in an artwork. Pattern is a principle of design. The combination of elements art, such as line, shape, or color, to provide interest in an artwork. Variety is a principle of design. Variety Pattern

  10. Materials 1 newspaper per weaving Paper clips Optional: paint, feathers, glitter, twisteez wire, beads, multi-media for decorating

  11. Procedure: Basket • Open newspaper. Use all pages that are all the same size and paper type. • Fold large pieces down into about 1” strips (The amount depends on the size of the basket you want to make. To create a 4 x 4 x4 basket, use 12 strips.) • Lay down all of your warp newspaper strips • Cover the top half with a heavy book to keep in place as you add in the weft strips. • Use a ruler to make sure that all sides are even. • Once all of the weft is woven into the base, crease all warp and weft pieces at the edge where they overlap. Folding/ creasing now will benefit you later as you try to get the sides of the basket to stand up. • Paperclips will help hold pieces in place as you work. • Lastly, tuck edges in and take out all paperclips. Some pieces will fold under while others folder over. • Decorate as desired.

  12. Procedure: Paper Mat Weaving • Open newspaper. Use all pages that are all the same size and paper type. • Fold large pieces down into about 1” strips or 2” strips. ( The size depends on how wide and thick you want your final weaving to be. The amount depends on the size of the weaving you want to make. To create a 6 x6 weaving, use 12 strips. You can tape strips together to make a larger piece.) • Lay down all of your warp newspaper strips. • Cover the top half with a heavy book to keep in place as you add in the weft strips. • Leave a margin on all 4 sides that is twice the width of your newspaper strips. • Paperclips will help hold pieces in place as you work. • Lastly, tuck edges in and take out all paperclips. Some pieces will fold under while others folder over. • Decorate as desired.
