In this project, students will be introduced to quilling-also known as paper filigree-a fun and creative art form that began during the Renaissance and has been used for centuries to make beautiful decorations. Quilling uses thin strips of colorful paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued to make cool designs like flowers, animals, swirls, and more. People around the world still use quilling today to make greeting cards, wall art, and even jewelry! Students in Grades 3-5 will also learn about symmetry and how to use it to make their designs look balanced and eye-catching.
