African symbols
Tuesday's class worked with African Adinkra Symbols. I give the kids a hand-out with lots of symbols and their meanings, and ask them to pick out 4 that are traits they'd like to emulate. We drew them in pencil, outlined in marker, colored with oil pastel and then added watercolor. Oh, and we worked with rulers too, to create a 2" border on the artwork.
