Worthington Bicentennial Arts Project (Weaving)

All grades at Bluffsview Elementary School spent the 2002-2003 school year learning an early Ohio vocation or recreational activity and then creating representative historic arts and crafts of Worthington. Fifth grade classes studied weaving. An artisan visited the classes, providing students an opportunity to try their hand at weaving with a traditional loom. Students learned about the role of this craft in the context of pioneer life in Worthington. Students then created their own weavings which were displayed in the front hallway of Bluffsview Elementary during the school's Bicentennial Arts Open House in May, 2003.
