Paper Weavings inspired by mixed media artist Christine Morla

Having learned Filipino mat weaving as a child from her father, Christine has incorporated these elements into her artwork.  Learning To See students learn the basic elements of weaving and explore color, shape, texture and composition.  As Christine has collaborated with others, students collage their individual pieces together as one artwork.

The artwork below was produced in classrooms at Anacapa Middle School. These Learning To See Outreach residencies were generously funded by the Reed Foundation.

Funding

Four week and single lessons are also available. Our lessons are cross-curricular and support the California content standards. Many of them can be tailored and grouped to work with a particular unit of study, i.e. zoology, social studies, history, language arts, sciences, etc. They are adaptable to a wide range of grade levels from elementary through secondary grades and beyond, including community groups and programs. Programs are supported in a variety of ways, including school and PTA funds, grants, or personal donations from an individual or group of parents/grandparents.

Our program is taught by professional artists who have extensive educational experience. We feel that this criterion helps to guide the student with a deeper understanding of the art making process.
