In this project we will make recycled furniture that includes a woven seat. The patterns woven into the seat will express mathematically what students have learned about the impacts of human production and activity on the Earth.
|
First, students will make a 1/4 scale model of their chair design and weave a seat using mason's line.
|
Second, they will double the size of their models to be 1/2. This will make issues more obvious and require more technique.
|
Last the designs will get constructed at full scale. The pattern that is woven into the seat will represent the student's research into their chosen topic.
