Fibers Intro.-Third Grade

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.
