Buffalo Hides |
Mrs. Walsh's first graders are finishing up some projects based on the art of Native Americans. Their class read
Raven:
A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest, and we used this book as inspiration for our art. They began with the Pacific Northwest, and they made some totem poles from construction paper. They used common colors and geometric shapes to make spooky faces, and some kids added googly eyes for fun. Next, they used Native American symbols to write a story on a ceremonial dance fan. Finally, they discussed Native Americans of the plains, and they learned how these people used buffalo to survive. They made some giant buffalo hide cutouts as a background for more of the symbols they used on the dance fans. Tomorrow, they will decorate ravens with Mrs. Walsh in her classroom!
