Our Kindergartners learned a little about the continent of Africa and the art that is made and worn by the Samburu people in Kenya. They studied the colors and patterns in their necklaces and clothing. We recreate the necklaces by painting patterns on paper plates the once they dried we used colored sharpies to add more patterns on top. Then the real fun began when the students created their own salt dough and used it to make beads. Messy but very fun! To finish the necklaces we poked holes and used wire to weave on beads onto the plates.
Welcome! This blog has been created for my art students and their families. Here I will showcase examples of student work, provide more information about the art lessons and how the students can explore our art topics at home. Please feel free to provide feedback by leaving a comment. I also encourage you to check back often as I add further information. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
