This woven artwork was made visually interesting by adding strips of cut magazines to our construction paper before beginning the weaving process. We helped our students out by prepping square weaving mats with slits. We put tape around the edges so that they would not tear through the paper as they weaved. Students were asked to go "in and out" with their strips of construction paper (similar to the grandfather in the book "Something From Nothing"). As students finished, they were asked to help others who may have been experiencing difficulty. This art project idea came from http://plbrown.blogspot.ca/.
