In Art class, fourth graders studied South America and the Incas. They learned about the Incan culture, the city in the clouds; Machu Picchu, and the Spanish invasion. Students designed their own Incan mask by embossing metal foil. They focused on making their masks symmetrical.
Fabulous work students!
ps. I love this lesson!
Oh wow...these are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Your students should be so proud!
ReplyDeleteThese are outstanding. A talented group of fourth graders. Thanks for sharing. I'm a first year elem art teacher and I've spent many hours looking for great cultural art lessons. Instead of just having students create for the sake of art, I'm looking for ways to take them on a journey around the world. Incan culture, Machu Picchu, and spanish invasion? WOW! I bet the fourth graders were very excited to learn all that!
