Students learned about using symmetry and paper cutting techniques to create symmetrical animal designs inspired by Polish folk art.
Students learned about American-style folk art for the last day of class, and they created their own unique bookmarks that represented them and their culture as Americans.
Students learned about Ugandan and Kenyan paper beads, made out of recycled magazines. Then students created their own magazine beads, then strung the beads, with other types, onto necklaces of their very own.
Students learned about the Eastern countries (specifically India & Nepal, The Middle East, and Africa) that traditionally use henna. They each created their own henna designs on paper hands. Students also had the opportunity to use real henna tubes on a practice sheet of paper.
Students learned about the traditional Paraguayan art, Nantudi. Meaning "spider web" in the native language, many small threads connect everything together, like a spider web. These artworks use an emphasis of radial symmetry and detailed linework.
