Working with Wire

This week we began working with wire and different materials that could be used for beading.  The materials included wooden balls, beads and spools, as well as plastic and cardboard pieces. 

Ford described his process of working with wire and the sequence of the beads that he had strung:
I make a new one. I can pull it back and forth. I making a rainbow like this. Look, I hold it. It’s like a rainbow. A rainbow. The same colors…blue, blue, pink, one green, one pink. I all done. 

​While picking up a metal soda can pull tab, Rawls observed and then questioned: This is wire. Is this wire? Rawls picked up a  two more pieces of wire and bent them in similar shapes. Holding the two shapes side by said, he stated,  Here a big candy cane. This is a little candy cane. 

Charlton picked up small cardboard tubes and slid them over a wire: What do you put next? It’s gone. It disappear, he observed as the cardboard tube covered the wire and he couldn’t see it anymore. 

Mimi threaded beads on a wire and then turned the wire in different directions to observe how the beads slid.

Cal enjoyed stringing plastic colored beads on different gauges of wire. He experimented until he found the gauge on which the beads fit best.


Ramsey carefully chose the materials that he used with his wire and the ordered in which the materials were added: I put this on here. And this one here, pointing to the wooden bead and then the wooden spool adjacent to it on his wire.
Fay: I need this to be close so it can be a bracelet for me.

Elsewhere in the Studio

Cal used a variety of strokes to create his painting:  I’m doing dots. I made a girl with hands. Mommy, Daddy and Cal. 

Mimi began by painting a green shape. She then used different colors to paint around the edge of the shape. It's a volcano! she exclaimed.

Bailee began with a golden yellow color and then added green and red. I paint!
