3rd Grade Basket Weavings

Third grade has spent some time learning about what a weaving is and all the different kinds of weaving, looking at different examples. We also discussed how weavings are often functional art, or they serve a purpose. To create these basket weavings, we cut an ODD number of cuts on a plastic cup, taped one end of a roll of yarn on the inside of the basket, and in an "over and under" pattern, we weaved the yarn until the plastic container was covered. Beads were added for extra decoration and the inside bottom was painted with acrylic paints. They did an awesome job!
