CHAPTER 23: MULTICULTURAL ART PROJECTS

4. To copy or create?

Use the art form as a method of exploring new ways of seeing and of expressing oneself.

Children enjoy doing research, choosing a story, learning its meaning in that culture, and using the particular shapes, symbols, and colors for each character.

Do you want replicas of etnic art

Do you want to use an art form as a basis for inspiring the child’s own creativity?

2. Materials

Slate for use in rock engravings can be fround in some areas, sand can be colored and used or sand painting, native grasses and weeds can be used for weaving and basketry.

Most indigenous art uses materials that are found naturally in the environment

Use waste products from the home

Look further for other often more exciting materials

The school usually has basic art supplies

Is the same material available or can you make a substitute?

Exposing students to art from all over the world brings them the wonder of art in all its many forms, expands their knowledge of what art is and shows them the variety of ways to design problems can be solved.

3. Tring it out

Some activities will require more complex skills

In some cases there may be dangers in the art materials that are not immediately apparent.

Go through the project yourself before presenting it

1. Beginning the project

The public libraries are rich resource places.

The art you wish to see can be found only in a museum or art gallery

Make arrangements in advance

Has someone in your community traveled abroad?

Is there a secondhand shop in your community?

Children feel certain magic about the real thing.

Showing children an actual piece of at brings the highest motivation and involvement.
