LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge, with deep respect, that I am gathered on Treaty 7 territory. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations.

Woven Painted Hearts


Perfect Valentine project that combines paint and weaving.

Students folded a large sheet of heavy white paper in half. 
They painted each side in different colours using tempera.


From one half they cut out a symmetrical heart. The other half they cut into their weft strips. 
They used a ruler to make even strips.


Then cut strips into the heart and weave the paper strips through it. 


  

Some Grade 4,5,6 finished hearts!
