Sussex Academy art students have been exploring tapestries, weaving and different kinds of stitches.
Works of creativity continue in Rebecca Frankum’s fiber arts class at Sussex Academy.
Students in ninth through 12th grades have been exploring tapestries, including yarn-wrapping structures, weaving and learning different kinds of stitches as they expand on their work.
Many times, Frankum said, students get stuck on the idea that they must be great at drawing in order to excel at art class. However, art is created and appreciated in many forms, giving all students the chance to explore different mediums and become artists in their own ways, she said.
