Paper weaving and body drawing

"We started out this art project learning how to weave paper. This was easy for some, challenging for others. We were going for the optical illusion look. 

The edges were then trimmed and glued and read for a body to be added. 

The second week we worked on drawing a body and outlining with sharpie. Details were added to make each student unique such as special clothing or pets or something they were interested in. 

The last week, students were introduced to chalk pastels and learned about their beautiful blending abilities. After coloring their bodies in, they were cut out and glued onto their paper weaving. I love how unique they all turned out!
