The World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery
Presents “An African Art Adventure” By The Students From
Forest Dale Elementary
Open House October 7th 2:00PM – 4:00PM – All are welcome
This exhibit details the many new things the Forest Dale students discovered about Africa; the artworks, the animals, and the cultural traditions. Each grade level focused on a particular tradition or animal from Africa:
Kindergarten – Roaring Lions – The Kindergarten students used watercolor paints and oil pastels to create their own lions as they practiced their scissors skills.
1st Grade – Elegant Elephants – These students used watercolor paints, crayons and construction paper to create elephants while practicing scissors skills.
2nd Grade – Mud Cloths – Traditional “mud cloths” were made by the 2nd grade students by using tempera paints and raffia. The students completed their mud cloths with traditional symbols.
3rd Grade – Adinkra Cloths – 3rd Grade students made “adinkra symbol” stamps to imprint on their own Adinkra cloths made from construction paper. The students learned Adinkra cloths come from the Ashanti people in Ghana.
4th Grade – African Masks – The students studied different African masks from all over the continent by looking at many examples of masks. Then the students made their own masks which display the favorite parts of the masks they studied.
5th Grade – African Safari Landscapes – The 5th Grade students drew African animals and Acacia trees to create their own African landscape. Then they used a combination of watercolor paints on their landscape to create an African “silhouette”.
