1 Hands-on activity String Art This is a hands on activity designed to follow the first lesson. It asks students to use needle and thread to create interesting string art designs. It's most appropriate for grades 5-7 and can be completed in about an hour. Activity flow Step 0: Do first lesson (~30 min) In advance of this activity you should go through the first lesson at your own pace. Step 1: Introduce problem (~5 min) We saw in the first lesson how the string art construction can be used to create parabolic arcs digitally. In this activity you can exercise your creativity by creating physical string art using needle and thread, much like Tony did in the first lesson. data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3cdiv%20class%3d%22tutorial-description%22%20style%3d%22margin%3a%200px%3b%20padding%3a%200px%3b%20border... 1/5

2 Step 2: Draw lines (~5 min) Use your ruler to draw a pair of lines to form a V shape on a 4x6 card. The lines need not be the same length, but they should be large enough to use most of the card. Step 3: Draw dots (~5 mins) Use your ruler to mark the same number of evenly spaced dots on the two lines. You ll want at least 8 marks on each line. The more marks you have, the more dense your final design will be. Number the dots as shown here: data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3cdiv%20class%3d%22tutorial-description%22%20style%3d%22margin%3a%200px%3b%20padding%3a%200px%3b%20border... 2/5

3 Step 4: Poke holes (~ 5min) Use a needle to poke holes through the dots. Step 5: Select a thread color (~5 mins) Select a thread color and cut a piece about 24 inches long. Thread 4 to 6 inches of thread through the needle. data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3cdiv%20class%3d%22tutorial-description%22%20style%3d%22margin%3a%200px%3b%20padding%3a%200px%3b%20border... 3/5

4 Step 6: Connect the dots (~15 mins) Starting from the back of the card, push the needle through dot #1 on one of the lines, pull the thread most of the way through, then push the needle down through dot #1 on the other line. Continue by pushing the needle from the back to the front of the card through dot #2 on the first line, then push the needle down through dot #2 on the second line. The front of your card should now look something like this: Continue connecting the rest of the dots in the same fashion. Step 7: Trim remaining thread (~5 mins) Cut off any excess thread to complete your design. data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3cdiv%20class%3d%22tutorial-description%22%20style%3d%22margin%3a%200px%3b%20padding%3a%200px%3b%20border... 4/5

5 Variations Instead of needle and thread, the activity can instead be done with colored pencils to draw the lines instead of sewing them. Encourage students to experiment with the angle of the opening of the V, the number of dots used on each line, switching thread colors mid way through the pattern, etc. Multiple string art designs on a single card can be attractive too. Can you make other shapes such as circles? Supply List Rulers Scissors Medium weight card 4x6 blank white card stock Pencils Embroidery thread, for instance, like this, in a variety of colors. Reasonably heavy weight sewing needles with eyes large enough to accommodate the thread. data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3cdiv%20class%3d%22tutorial-description%22%20style%3d%22margin%3a%200px%3b%20padding%3a%200px%3b%20border... 5/5
