Fiber Art

What a great start we are off to. We've learned much about a variety of animal and plant fibers that are used in the textile industry. Our kids got to apply some of the information they learned at a field study in their AP US History class when they visited Governor John Sevier's Farm Home.

The kids also got an up-close look at different fibers through a microscope. The different barbs were cool to look at.

The kids got lessons in spinning, starting with a pen! But after washing, dyeing, and carding some llama wool, the kids started drop spinning.

The kids were introduced to hand and drum carding, and they all got to use the drum spinner.

All of the kids seem to get it, and now they just have to spin down about 500 yards of yarn for their textiles!

HS Art and Mindfulness: Draw In Darkness

We judge and criticise ourselves so much that we kill creativity before it has a chance to blossom. So we are going to draw with our eyes closed. In this way we will be able to draw free of any judgment, creating lines, shapes, patterns, whatever we want as the idea comes to us.

Here is a link to the information that I want you to cover in the report of your final project.
