The Art of Alaska
assignment:
My first grade scholars choose their art
projects from a selection of guided activities found in the
craft book "Hands-On Alaska: Art Activities for All Ages" by
Yvonne Young Merrill. Students are given 2 weeks to do
research and complete their project. While this project is
intended to involve family members, the art work should be
done by the student. The art should reflect the decorative
style of the Alaskan people who originally created this
art.
Each student artist fills out a one-page
research
guide sheet to help prepare them
for their oral presentation and test. Using the research
guide sheet, each student presents their project to the
class as an oral report. Students earn extra credit by
presenting their project to other students in our school
when we turn our classroom into a museum of art in the style
of Alaska's native peoples!
