 Textile Design--Fall 2007
We used a spinning wheel to make our own yarns. Wool, cotton, silk, and alpaca are fibers that can be spun into yarn. We used a table loom and our handspun alpaca fleece to make woven scarves and wall hangings. |
Ms. LaRue, our student intern from ASU, worked with Ms. Suddreth's kindergarten and Ms. Cournoyer's first grade classes to create a quilt.
We learned about pattern in fabric design. We gave our quilt to a student in the hospital. We learned about sharing and caring for others. You can click on the small image below to be directed to Ms. LaRue's web page. |

Worldview Program March 18, 2008 |
 The entrance to the Aztec, Inca, and Maya Museum was created by the 4th and 5th grade students in Art. |
 Students showed what they had learned about daily life, religion, and warfare in these beautiful drawings. |
 The Aztec and Maya Indian priests were excellent astronomers. They kept elaborate records of the night sky and used this information to predict the future. Each day had a religious significance, and the calendar wheel was used to keep track of these days. |
 Our museum featured "artifacts" drawn by students. |
