Owl Project Techniques and Concepts

In this video tutorial, students learn to create an owl project by weaving paper using a loom. The process involves cutting paper to form a loom, weaving with a pattern, and using oil pastels and watercolors to add color. Students draw an owl, focusing on symmetry and color choices, and assemble the final project by combining the woven loom and owl drawing. The tutorial emphasizes careful cutting, pattern creation, and artistic expression through color.

What is the first step in creating a loom for weaving?

• Gluing the paper edges

• Coloring the paper

• Folding the paper to create a crease

• Cutting the paper into strips

What is the purpose of the stop line in the loom creation process?

• To mark where to start cutting

• To ensure the paper is symmetrical

• To prevent cutting beyond a certain point

• To indicate where to fold the paper

How do you achieve a checkerboard pattern in weaving?

• By stacking the weft papers on top of each other

• By using only one color of weft paper
