Africa Arts
 
7 & 8 Animal sculpture Africa is full of animals. In the book Calabash Cat a cat tells animals, worldwide, about the Chadian Creation story. We will look at the animals in the book, each student will pick animals that they want to make & paint in clay.
2. Animal mask in colored paper We’ll pick a favorite animal and make its face into a mask, with a hook on the back, so it can hang on a wall.
1. Oil pastel animal drawing with a decorated frame We’ll draw an animal with oil pastels and mount our drawings on colored paper frames decorated with geometric designs.

1st grade - 5th grade • (8 class workshop)

In Africa Arts we’ll use the book Calabash Cat to study the geometric design, and the simplification & stylization of natural form characteristic of African art. The workshop will include photos and examples of African art, too. We will make animal sculptures in modeling clay, study geometric embellishment of form and make masks of African animals.
