Fifth Grade Impressionistic Weaving

Fifth Grade Impressionistic Weavings

Fifth graders have been learning about Impressionism!  There were a couple of very strict guidelines they had to follow: NO ROUND,YELLOW SUNS and NO BLACK FOR SHADOWS.  Students were highly encouraged to use colors outside their comfort zones and a variety of brushstrokes.  Below is a link to the Prezi I created to introduce Impressionistic painting:

Following painting, we discussed fiber art, "warp" and "weft", and we created some trees to go along with whatever season students chose to depict in their painting.  The end results are beautiful!
