Yarn Bombing - Part I

This is a lesson my cooperating teacher and I decided to do with our 7th grade classes to introduce weaving and street art. We had small discussion about traditional weaving, then discussed contemporary street art and yarn bombing. This really got the students excited to begin working.

We asked the students to bring in collected sticks to work with and we provided various color yarn. Some students wrapped the branches, while others tried basic weaving. All students were really engaged in the process. Once everyone finishes their individual pieces, we are going to yarn bomb the art room and create a collaborative installation.
