Weaving is one of the most ancient forms of human creativity. Baskets and textiles would not have been possible without weaving. To a develop basic knowledge and gain experience with weaving. Students will produce a simple weaving project and will be able to discuss the basic vocabulary of weaving. This project will give students experience working with the basic concept of weaving. In this project, the student will use colored construction paper to produce a woven paper basket.
This project can be expanded to challenge the creativity of students by using more colors, making the weft threads thinner and the designs more detailed. The warp can be measured using rulers and will result in more precise designs. The simple over-under sequence can be altered from every other warp to every second or even third warp to form a regular pattern that will differ from the standard "checker board" style design.
