First Grade Kente Cloth

First graders have been experiencing the art of Africa in this year’s cultural focus unit.  We looked at samples of Kente Cloth and read Debi Chocolate’s Kente Colors – and then created these beautiful paper and printed Kente collages.

Before printing using cardboard dipped in acrylic paint, we also looked at the beautiful patterns found in Adinkra cloth that is printed by the Ashanti people of Ghana.
