6th Grade - String Art!!!



This is a Cassie Stephens special... She of course did this lesson with younger students, but it translates well with older ones too! Mine took it a bit further and now that I have taught it once, I will change it up next time and give more options.... so stay tuned! 

Just like Cassie, we used oil pastel and india ink wash to paint a background. Then students traced a circle with 16 even marks. Where they marked, they used a push pin to start the hole in the cardboard, (10x10).  Then, we used large nails to push through and make a nice sized hole to get our long plastic needles through.  Worked like a charm! My students REALLY liked this lesson. Many who finished early started a smaller new one.  Can't wait to start these again next semester!
