African Collar Necklaces

Kindergarten is studying Ghana, and we have been making art inspired by the art of Africa.  They began with kente cloths, but this week they are making collar necklaces.  I challenged them to make a balanced pattern, but some of them just focused on using bright colors.  They all looked proud of their work!  I borrowed this lesson from the crayola site:  Lesson Plan
Work by Anthony, Ava, Caleb, and Lincoln in room 103
