Cultures in Clay
Children will take a journey through the wondrous world of indigenous art. From Native American flutes, to spirit vessels of the Americas, children will be inspired to create their own versions of these native works. Using clay, paper, and other materials, students will also create traditional rain sticks from Australia, as well as animal vessels from Africa.
