Description

Art projects are a great way to reinforce content and represent different cultures. Think about how crafting a Nigerian royalty hanging while studying Nigeria could help children better retain and appreciate aspects of Nigerian life. Chinese printing presses and Peruvian silver wind chimes add dimension to your lessons or fun to a unit study. This book ties together art, history, geography and culture with clear, illustrated directions for over 135 projects using household items. Lots of projects use recycled materials too! The book is divided by continent, and includes all 7, so you can easily find a project to go with your lesson. Some ideas are just fun and relate to the continents, like those in the Antarctica chapter. Your students can make a salt dough penguin, snowy stencils w/glitter & shoe polish, a frozen fish sculpture and a snow globe! What a time saver to have this all at hand! Your students can use it to make great visual aids for a presentation of a culture or geographical region. Pb, 188pp. ~ Sara
