This was the first Art lesson that our peers taught. This lesson was on the art of weaving. We were introduced to some new terminology such as twisting, tint, shade and weaving. The materials we needed were cardboard for the background, strips of newspaper, paint and glitter if we pleased. First, we taped strips on newspaper going one way across the board, then we did it going to opposite way. Once all the pieces were evenly distributed we were to weave the newspapers, under and over each other. We were to twist the newspapers and then tape them down. Once this was all done, we painted the background of the cardboard a shade or a tint. Then we painted the strips however we pleased and added glitter to jazz it up.
Extension Activity: After teaching the students more about weaving and the different cultures that use weaving, I would do a project in which the students were to weave their own basket. I would have the students decorate their baskets however they pleased choosing either warm or cool colors.
