Our 6th grade students spent the fall semester working on the World Weaver project learning about culture, art and rug design. These notecards showcase just a few of the students designs from all 6th grade classrooms.

During the two-month residency students scanned and analyzed rugs, and discussed the cultures where the rugs came from. The students' focuses on the idea of narratives in rugmaking.

Throughout their learning process, they examined how folklore and legends have been depicted in rugs from around the world. They analyzed rugs as a class, discussed the cultures from which those rugs were created, and went over the elements of art (line, shape, color, space, and value) and the use of symbolism in art.

Students launched into their own narrative rug designs; their final creations represented stories found in movies, books, nature, folkloric legends, and much more.

Package of 12 cards in assorted designs.
