Fourth graders are winding down the year with their Kumihimo maru dai looms, mastering the art of Japanese braiding. Everybody started with 2 colors, 4 pieces of each, with the same warping pattern to achieve a spiral pattern:
As soon as they finished their first braid and demonstrated mastery of the technique, they were able to choose any colors, in any combination, to create a new pattern/braid. We're starting to see some interesting new braids!
I'll post more color combinations as they're made...
Check out my previous posts for more details on the process.

This is a line and pattern project based on the work of Austrian artist Gustav
Klimt. He is one of my favourite artists and I love teaching this lesson...
