A few months ago, Paiges class started a Native American project. Being a gifted program, it was actually quite in depth. They went and saw a play at a theater in town about Lewis and Clark, they read a book about a girl who was kidnapped by Indians and how she lived her life with them even after she could 'escape' (this was a non fiction book and quite interesting!), they made food the Indians ate and also did several Native American art projects. One of them was a clay mask which they glazed and fired and embelished etc.
Every year, the School District office does an 'Art Walk' where they display selected art projects etc from around the district. Paiges fourth grade art class was one of the ones selected and so we of course HAD to go and see and take pictures. Paige was less than enthusiastic! She tends to be shy about her work and really, once a project is done, she wants nothing more than to move on to the next one. As the mean mother that I am, I made her go anyways! hahaha....
Here are the pictures I took of the event:
Here is Paige standing outside the District office posing in front of the Art Walk sign. Can you tell how thrilled she is with me? :)
This is the sign by the class art display explaining the project:
This is Paiges mask that she made. I love it!

Hugs to all!
