Kings, Queens, and Circle Looms

The kids finished a big weaving unit recently. We spent the holiday season finger weaving. Finger weaving is a HUGE deal here at Sonora. If you want to learn how, click HERE! After Thanksgiving we started weaving on painted plates. These turned out beautiful, and the kids really enjoyed the calm process.

We spent three weeks weaving the middle of our looms. 

First and second grade has been talking about the Middle Ages! We've been looking at paintings and learning about how artists mainly made art about bible stories and kings, queens, and knights. We did self portraits of ourselves as a king or queen. We topped them off with sparkly crowns and jewels. They turned out GREAT!

Way to go, Sonora artists!
