Art

Grade Lvl:4-5

Invite students to explore the intersection of art and nature while learning how material properties shape weaving. In this engaging lesson, learners study spiral orb-weaver spiders—examining how their anatomy and instincts enable them to build strong, symmetrical webs. Inspired by these natural engineers, students create their own spiral orb weavings, carefully layering texture and pattern. By combining their woven webs with thoughtfully designed backgrounds, learners transform simple fibers into intricate mixed-media artworks that celebrate artistic creativity and the marvels of natural design.

How can we create a spiral-shaped weaving?
