These Students Have a Dream (and Lots of Imagination)!
Art with a Heart students at Margaret Brent Elementary/Middle School learned the history of Native American Art, including the environmental and cultural significance of dream catchers. Students then enjoyed painting and weaving their own dream catchers. On "
Funday," kindergarten students used the dream catcher supplies and refined their fine motor skills as well as their concept of pattern, color, and design by beading their own necklaces and bracelets.
