Students will learn about paper quilling and the art of rolled paper. They will also investigate patterns and forms found in nature. Intricate paper rolling work was a hobby in the 18 th century. Students will create a work of quilled art. Students will learn to appreciate the art created not only by them, but by others as well.
Children can make a tiny fold at one end of the paper, and roll it all the way to the end.
Encourage your students to let go of the spiralled roll a little, so there is a little space between the turns of the roll. The rolls can be secured with glue. Rolls can be round or oval in shape. Round rolls can be pinched at either end to make flower petal shapes. You can make many other shapes by pinching the roll in different areas.
