I love this one! I love the tactile nature of a project like this as well as the fact that it isn't made permanent until you're finished - it somehow becomes less intimidating when you can take it apart if you don't like it and try something different. I hope I end up with time to make some of these!
I've been noticing a theme of domesticity for the last few videos. Considering that it is so fundamental to our lives, yet frequently unsung, it makes sense to raise the domestic to the level of art!
Now I really want to know what other materials she wants to weave with... ;) Great video, I especially enjoyed Sarah's intro of the artist and I the artist's passion and exploration of what some might dismiss as a "simple technique or exercise".
Nothing to do with the assignment. I went to see this exhibit recently. It was stunning! One of the things I loved was how I took away ideas for quilting designs. Thanks Michelle, for sharing your gift with us.
Hmmm... this is one of the first art assignments that is making me think about myself as an artist. I live a very ordered life outside of art but the second I am expressing myself artistically I intentionally make it devoid of order and rules and anything like that. This is really challenging me to understand art and creation in general under a ordered lense and less of a manic emotional lense.
As a child I would always make rather irregular ones. On purpose even. :P Wavy lines with straight strips etc. I always kinda liked that lack of pattern. So maybe I'll find a way to make the pattern less of a pattern. :)
I actually did a paper weaving in my art class and glued it to a box to make it look like a woven basket. It's interesting to think that wood can woven in many different ways. From willow branches to paper cutouts. :)
Oh, interesting. My first thought watching her do this was, "Ohhh no, you're supposed to do a regular, over-under-over-under pattern!" It made me really uncomfortable to see her do a skip three, oops I guess I'll just do two at the end. I was always that kid in kindergarten who actually managed to have it alternate properly and such. And yet, her final product is pretty cool in its irregularities. Why shouldn't I try to do something like that? Perhaps I'll do two for this - one with a more regular, comfortable weaving, and one completely different and new to me.
Having watched the video, I think this is a great idea for pattern generation that can be important at any stage of art education. I wish it would go to the next step. Once you get a good idea for a pattern, what do you do with it? I feel like painting that pattern would be the next step, changing where appropriate, and seeing how it would fit in various items: a quilt, a book cover, a CD case, a jacket, a purse. It would be fun to see this go to the next level.
Well my first grader isn't interested but maybe my preschooler would do this with me. :) These always frustrated me as a child. Mine would always buckle. However, I like the idea of embracing boredom. There is a liberation in seeking it out, and it loses its terror as it shows its virtues.
I used to weave with sticks as a kid. And pieces of grass. I'm a little obssessed with weaving. I never thought of weaving the strips into a set field. I laways just wove strips both ways.

I just adore the variety of projects on this show.

The artist is so passionate about what's she is talking about!
I was actually JUST at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and I saw and took a few pictures of her art! Neat! :D
I'm so excited about this one. Not only is it an assignment that I can do, but it's comes at a time when I have many blank walls in my apartment.
This is probably my favorite assignment so far.
+Jonathan Fay And a few minutes later I discover the Science fiction one. Can both be my favorite? ;)
+Jonathan Fay Yes! "These are just some of my favorite things..."
This project seems soothing to me. I wish I could take a class with Ms. Grabner!

+David Shi It was not by design but I noticed this, too!
As soon as I heard "paper weaving" I remembered doing that in first grade, I thought it was interesting to learn how widespread it is
I love activities like this, which have such simple borders, because then it's even easier to feel that you can explore outside the bounds :)
Watching her doing this really made me want to join her, it looks so enjoyable. I am definitely going to do this! ^^
"The Silver Pencil" in an amazing vintage YA book which features froebels methods, I swear it's one of the best books I've ever read!

Love this one! Time to break out the paper and exacto knife!
This is a lot less messy than finger painting, which I think is also a Kindergarten favorite.
This is very inspiring! I'm not looking forward to all the preparation required to make the strips, but I'm very tempted! :)

I want to see her response to the Imprint assignment.

I would love to have her as a teacher. Her voice is so down-to-earth and soothing and she makes points that really make you think.

+Xenolilly i think so too
I like this! I'm doing this!
This looks like so much fun😁

What if you drew a picture, sliced it like her base sheet, and wove in a special pattern on top of the drawing. So many hidden meanings.....
So that's where the Dutch verb 'fröbelen' comes from! It means something like "crafting without experience or knowledge".
I suppose something similar could be done with pixel art. Or cross stitch.
John’s got a nice tan 👍
The original side was more interesting than the finished side. Intersectionality comes to mind.
