I am extremely excited to be exploring Africa with my students this year. I have been researching different tribes of some of the countries and have a few things planned out but still have a lot of research ahead of me. From DR Congo: These cloths will make an excellent Kindergarten lesson on line. Students will have a lot of fun learning about portraiture and 3D artwork with African maskmaking. Egypt Lessons about Egypt are plenty! I hope to make clay beetles with Kindergarten, Sarcophagus lessons, and of course a Pharaoh headdress! Ethiopia I have an idea of using plastic canvas and yarn to create mini versions of these beautiful baskets. I haven't tried it yet, but my mind is really going on this one! Kenya I found this student version of a traditional Kenyan necklace on Pinterest. It's made with cording and embroidery floss, and I think my 4th graders will love it! Mali Mudcloth of Mail will make for an amazing printmaking project. Morocco Morocco has so many amazing styles of art! I am thinking about a printmaking project using their Islamic patterns by carving into an eraser and repeating the print multiple times. Namibia Such gorgeous scenery! Throughout the year I will be teaching about animals that live in Africa that we would never see wild in Wisconsin. I plan on using "Giraffes Can't Dance" to inspire young-1st or 2nd- artists. South Africa I'm still considering what we could do here. Perhaps paper mache spheres in 1st or 2nd grade. Tanzania Edward Said Tingatinga is a famous artist from Tanzania that inspired the Disney show, "Tinga Tinga Tales." His artwork will be beautiful with a combination of watercolor and drawing. I actually taught his style to 3rd graders a few years ago using crayon resist and watercolor wash. Most of them turned out amazing.

This is Ohma. She is probably about 79 years old. She belongs to the Himba people, one of the last semi-nomadic tribes in Africa.
