We recently started an unit on ethnic art in my 2 co-op art classes. (3-4th and 5-6th.) Our first project covered Native American art, emphasizing turquoise jewelry. The kids got a taste of jewelry making, clay work (Sculpey-type) and Native American symbolism in this project. They all showed great creativity with no two bead designs alike. This project seemed to be a favorite with the kids, and they worked enthusiastically to complete it. Here are some great examples of their completed jewelry.
