Basket weaving

 Descriptions:

    We took two large pieces of construction paper and cut one in to 1 inch strips all the way down. Next we took the other sheet and left a 1 inch gap on each side and the cut the paper in one inch strips. Finally you weave the one inch strip through it. Once we were done we drew objects that represented us.

Activity:

I think that I would keep this the same but find someone who could come talk about Native American basket weaving.

  Description:      For this activity we looked at art work of Vincent Van Gough and recreated his Starry Nights in our own way. We used the aspects of swirls and recreated it with tissue paper and a glue like substance to adhere it to the paper. Then we took construction paper and made some type of land form. Then with crayon or oil pastels we drew lines to enhance the art. Extension Activity: Think a fun activity to relate this to would be the northern lights and letting the children be creative with the colors. Also adding stars to the pictures to make it look more like a sky.
