Colorful Weavings


These beautiful pieces were created by the students from Mrs. Hughes's class.  We began with a 12X18" piece of white paper that the students completely covered with watercolor paints.  Then they used texture tools to "roll on" tracks of black paint in various patterns.  During our next class we cut these paintings to allow black strips of construction paper to be woven through.  This kind of art requires patience and the use of fine motor skills. We all agree that they turned out beautifully!
