Native American Art


Students get to try their hand at Native American sand printing and patterns in this lesson. Students are introduced to various Native American patterns, which are generally very symmetrical. Students are given a piece of sand paper and white paper. Students create and color a pattern onto the sand paper. When they finish, and with the aid of a teacher, students iron their white paper over the sandpaper, printing or replicating the pattern on the sand paper. This is a great, fun way of incorporating Native American art into the classroom!
