Art~Week 8

It's hard to believe the first half of our year is almost over! We only have 1 more week of co-op classes before our Winter break begins.

This week in art, we talked a little about Medieval tapestries.

Each student was given a piece of Muslin and to stitch their own picture. I had a variety of free patterns that I located off the Internet. I did mostly cross stitch patterns and a few embroidery patterns. I thought the cross stitch would be easier for the younger students to handle. The students were eager to learn the basics...how to thread a needle, tie a knot, and how to create the stitch. Many students choose a pattern to create to give to a loved one as a present.
