This week we have been doing a different type of art project, String Art! Instead of using paints, markers and paper, they have been using nails, string, and wood. Each student created a design on a piece of paper and then they taped the paper onto a piece of wood. They also marked where they wanted to put nails to go. Once they had stuck the paper onto the wood they used a hammer to pound small nails in through the paper into the wood in the shape of their design. After all the nails were all in the wood, they very carefully ripped the paper off the the nails and wood. Then came the fun part. Students wrapped colored string around the nails making sure to stay within their patterns. Once they were done, they had a true piece of art. Although it may seem like it’s different, all of the students think that it is definitely the most beautiful and fun art project to do and many of them plan to decorate their rooms with their pieces. I would encourage you to try it for yourself. (By Isabel).
