Non-Credit Full Course Raw Fibers
Program
Raw Fibers, a five session studio class, will take a single product, fabric, and work out the historical, economic, scientific, social and mathematical properties that are inherent in its use and production; all through hands-on art making. There will be four themes of hands on practice: weaving, printing, batiking and fabric arts. Emphasis will be placed on creating sustainable artwork: that which leaves no negative impact on the environment. Participants will learn about the environmental impact of fabric and practice ways of reusing their materials throughout the course. Participants will utilize journaling, research, and the sharing of best practices to develop lesson plans from course material for a variety of learning styles and levels that are relevant to their instructional setting. Participants will receive a course pack of documents outlining pertinent vocabulary and how-to instructions for the art techniques learned.
This course is for educators and art programmers focussed on serving a k-12 population. This particular section will not grant you DOE "P-Credits" but you will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
