Art

These assignments will work at every grade-level:

Lesson One

• Have your students locate a photo or illustration of a famous Indian and replicate this image in drawing or painting.
• Display your students’ work on your classroom walls or in the hallways, with the name of famous Indian at the bottom of the artwork.

Lesson Two

• Visit a local art museum that displays art work about or by Native Americans. Ask the museum docent to explain some of the art pieces to your students.
• Present art about or by Indians on your classroom screen. Mention the artist by name and the meaning of the work.
• Or have students use the internet to locate art work about or by Indians. Students could then discuss their own interpretations of a particular work while projecting a photo of the work on your screen for all to see.
