My weaving project

  What I liked and disliked About this weaving project is:

Liked: What I liked about this project Is that It was complicated and fun at the same time And we got to go to a garden and get 2 Invasive Species of plants for the project The Ivy and willow we used and we made a lot of cool stuff with all of the stuff Like Springs and small chains made of willow and Ivy.

Disliked: What I disliked about this project Is that It takes a little to long to put all the stuff together so we used a lot of the willow and ivy to make one small thing so we had to visit the garden a few times and at the 2nd one there was probably not a lot of willow and ivy left for the whole class to use. Another thing I disliked was how a lot of it broke really easy like one small crack you make It all falls apart and you have to restart the whole thing unless you use a lot of ivy on It which I don`t do because it is sort of wasteful to use a lot of Ivy on one piece of art that will just be shown at a art gallery or around the school.

It’s going to be hard to not give spoilers because I’ve read a lot before and I remember the major parts of the story. I’ll try to make this purely on the cover:

I think that the man on the cover is really old and that he is the giver for a few reasons. One is that he is wrinkly and has grey hair. I’m pretty sure no sane person would die their hair grey (I thought wanted to look younger). The wrinkles is probably not from being in the bath tub for too long, but who knows. The old man has pale eyes (hint for later chapters) and I’m just guessing so I think that since he’s under the title, he might be the Giver. Since I can’t give evidence from the text it’s all just a wild guess. I think that the man lives in the forest. We’ll just have to wait and find out.

Im ok with being matched

Because If u get matched U will have a lot In common with ur partner so u wont get In fights Because u can have everything In the same way because u have a lot of the same Interests. The reasons I wont want to be matched Is because I wont have the freedom of choice U get your partner chosen from other people.

I like to weaving because it is fun and you get to make weird stuff. You get to make necklaces and rings. Sometime it’s relaxing. I enjoy doing weaving and getting to play with weaving.

I like easing into the day and not having to start math as soon as I walk in the room.  So weaving lets me start to think about my day a little more. But most of the time my weaving turns out differently than I would have liked. But that is just my perfectionist side coming out. The only things that annoys me is that, the willow will break or the ivy gets to dry. Which doesn’t help when I am using it for binder. I think seeing all of our pieces put together will be worth the while in the end. And I would much rather be doing this than painting or drawing. So overall I don’t mind weaving and I think its a good way to start off the day.

When you think about weaving and SAM2 what do you think? Well i think that they have a connection, for example reusing. All sort of people all around the world reuses materials, like SAM2 and weaving. For weaving you reuse some unwanted plants in someone’s garden and get those unwanted plants and weave with them and make a wonderful piece of art, SAM2 reuses all sort of materials for example a piece of metal, a tube that attaches to a boat, and a thrown away wood planks. SAM2 makes all sort of materials using reusable stuff and that was Waving + SAM2 thinking.

The weaving project we are doing is actually pretty fun. I never expected it to be like this. When we weave every morning and sometimes in our free time, it’s really fun because we get to talk, and listen to Ms.Lanaway read some books, its like a big circle of art and socializing.

Weaving is also really fun because the materials that we are using are easier and more interesting because they are tree branches and invasive plants. It’s more intriguing if we get to use stuff like that.

The part in weaving that I find interesting is that so many people in our class have never heard of weaving and never done it before and now we are all pretty good at it. We’ve even created something cool of our own. It’s also amazing that there are so many people who’ve done amazing projects and it’s just fantastic.

A part in our weaving project that I don’t like is how some of us are constantly having to change our plans on what we’re creating because the willow is either too dry or the ivy is ripping when we bind it and (Ugh the worst part) it falls apart. We are constantly having these bumps in the road and it’s very frustrating but we always find a different way to make our plan work or we change our plan and continue on.

Lastly, the hardest part is bending the willow. We always have to bend the willow before we do anything with it because if we don’t it’ll break. It’s just kind of hard.

What was similar between the y pc and our weaving

What was similar between our weaving project and the young peoples concert Is that we both used a lot of extra plants on our weaving and they used extra parts from construction yards boats and other stuff And It took a lot of time for them and us to finish the whole thing and it will all go to use in some sort of gallery But they performed to us and they mighty even put theirs into a gallery when they are done doing performances for their band and that they used a lot of group work in their drums xylophones and other stuff and that when they looked for the scraps it maybe like when we looked for the plants at the garden for our projects too and maybe we can bring It out and use it like a lot of the other performers one day just to have fun and teach the more younger people at future young peoples concert.

When weaving I simply enjoy relaxing a making something. a lot of the time i dont know what im making, but is still enjoy relaxing. I usually come to school still a bit tired, and weaving is a great way to ease into the day. One difficulty i have a lot is binding the willow together with the ivy, as i have hard time keeping the two pieces of willow in place while i tie the ivy. I also have a hard time keeping the ivy in place, as it comes loose a lot.

All in all, i enjoy weaving, even though i have a hard time with some things.

Similarities from our latest YPC performed by SAM2 and our weaving project were that SAM2 made cool instruments with materials that were going to the dump, and stuff that people weren’t using anymore. Also they used materials that no one ever thought of it as other things like drums, xylophones. This is similar to our weaving project because we used materials(willow branch, green ivy) that people weren’t really interested in and we made it into something very unique.

Scrap Arts Music made their instruments out of junk that they found in the dump and made it into a real instrument. They made over eighteen instruments. But it took them few months to build one drum. Some instruments were very unique because it wasn’t something we’d see or hear in a band, for examples like annoyophone which is an instrument that makes sound with balloons and junks on a stick which is like the title just junks on a stick.  In our weaving project  we used green ivy and willow branches to make wreaths, hangers, coil shaped circles and just other shapes. Both of this cool and unique projects we could literally make it into whatever we anted like the SAM2 made instruments out of the most random things and so did our weaving project. Sometimes I just let my hand do the work and made something very cool. Overall I really enjoyed watching the SAM2 perform and I really enjoyed weaving in the morning!
