East Longmeadow Visual Art Department Lesson Plans 

Corresponding with MA State Standards 

Mrs. Slate First and Second Grade Weaving
Objective Corresponding Standards
I can create a weaving using a wooden loom. 
I can tie a knot and weave using an AB pattern.
I can identify the vocabulary of weaving tools and  how to use a loom.
I can use my knowledge of weaving to use the large classroom loom to create a group made rug.

Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Use a wide variety of two- and three-dimensional media that communicate a teacher directed idea after looking at images made by artists who use similar materials. (e.g., students use repurposed materials to create a musical instrument or make a collage). (1-2.V.Cr.01)Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art. Make connections between personal experience and an artwork to use as inspiration for their work. (1-2.V.Co.10)
StepsDay 1Students will watch a presentation on weaving. Students will use lace cards from K teachers to practice over/under AB patterns required for weaving.Day 2-53)Students will watch Mrs. Slates private Youtube tutorials on how to thread a needle, tie a knot, and weave.4) Students will learn how to weave in an AB pattern to create a small weaving to take home.
Assessment Informal standard/objective checklist
Hallway  ExhibitionStudents will exhibit one project per year in the hallway
Differentiation -Some students will need extra time-Some students need help understanding over under AB patterns, how to thread a needle and tie a knot, and will need one on one demonstration and help every day
Notes/reflectionsWill use this for first and second, too challenging for younger. I may want to try this later in the year next time.
