Activities for November


During the month of November we are going to integrate principles of designs in our art work. We are also specifically going to celebrate Native American Heritage Month and Thanksgiving.    


Our scrolls as seen in the Current Lessons section will depict a visual story as written by Native Americans.  Still in the Current Lessons section you will find the steps to create headresses and centerpieces to wear or display for Thanksgiving.
