Black History Month Pt.3

Hello! We are more than half-way through our celebration of Black History Month in the art room! This week I am showcasing 2nd grade! We talked about the people of Africa and their decorative, hand-made jewelry. We then made Samburu Necklaces! The Samburu people made necklaces out of beads threaded into very intricate patterns. Because I do not want the janitorial staff to start giving me the side-eye, we opted to use markers to create beautiful patterns on paper plates! We took pictures wearing our necklaces and displayed them in the hallway. They were a hit among students and teachers! Below are a few to enjoy! More will be posted on Artsonia soon. Next week, we will finish off Black History Month with 3rd and 4th grade!
