Miguel Arzabe

Artist Biography

Bolivian-American artist, Miguel Arzabe, fills huge canvases with paint that he cuts into strips so that he can weave the pieces of canvas into a tapestry of color and texture. His woven abstracts have shown at art galleries and even on a basketball court. Using crayons to create 2 separate drawings and scissors for cutting, the art project video shows students how to easily weave together their strips of paper into a very sophisticated work of art.

"It was great to students express themselves in their use of color. They really took advantage of and appreciated the freedom that came with weaving paper. The project was very hands-on."
