Fourth Grade is very proud of their weavings.  The students learned to change colors in the middle of a row, to keep their edges from tightening in, and to start and end rows without loose ends.  The students also spent time learning new methods for drawing, including using a grid, upside-down drawing and practicing with the "funny papers."  Judy Brand came to Fernan as an Artist in Residence to teach Ms. Soucy's 4th Grade and Ms. Critchfield's 3rd Grade how to use watercolor paints to paint the predator birds that you will see at the end of the Gallery.  They were outstanding!!  

A "Parfleche" is a Native American package made of deer hide.
