Grade: K-5
As an end of the year project I decided to invite all 400 of my students to take part in an istallation project that could stand with the building forever. We discussed the Kente Cloths of Africa, more specifically Ghana and the children learned how to tell stories wih color and shapes in place of words. Each village or house (grade level floor) was assigned three colors which had their own significant meaning. The children created geometric shapes that resembled those seen in woven fabric. After they created their own 4 inch tile, we glazed and fired them and I set them all up in one unified installation.
The results are very special to me as it was a mark of all the lessons we went over through the year.
