Native American Sand Art

This project was to give us input on Native American art and the number of different forms there are. The class started out as giving us a lecture of the different forms of Native American art and how they differ from one another. When we got the chance to work on our pieces, we made out our designs and color in our design with crayons. The key is to press hard with crayons otherwise the design will not transfer over to the paper. The tranferring process occured with putting the design under a piece of paper and ironing the design onto the paper. I enjoyed the project and didn't have many difficulities, other than the ironing process. My design did not transfer over very well. An extension activity would to have a social studies lesson incorporated into the lesson and give a breaf history of Native Americans.
