What is Fiber Art?
Fiber art is a type of art that is made from fibers such as yarn, string, or cloth to create art.
You may be familiar with some forms of fibers such as sewing, quilting, crochet, and felting, because maybe you have a family member who enjoys creating using these methods.

Drawing from Observation-Nature Up Close

Today we will learn to look carefully at flowers and leaves to discover the beautiful details in the natural world. This is called an observation drawing. In art, when you OBSERVE, you look very closely at something.
During this week, you can look for other natural objects that you might like to observe closely and draw.
Have you ever looked at a flower up close?
What did you notice that you didn't see from far away?
Here is a painting from far away of a field of poppies
