TEXTILE AND FIBER ART- What is it?
Using natural or man-made fibers combined with methods such as weaving, dyeing, fusing, painting or stitching to create pieces of art.

We will evaluate textile and fiber designs from different time periods, cultures and artists while assessing the characteristics and merits of their work and our own.  

COURSE OBJECTIVES

EVALUATION
Your learning will be evaluated through your sketchbook assignments, projects, and the final. Specifically for evaluation of your projects, they should be technically correct, show creativity through the process and/or subject matter, and show personal expression.  A rubric with specific things I am looking for each project will be provided before projects are graded so you can see exactly what you will need in order to do well.
