Sand Art

This was a project on Native American sand art.  I thought it was neat project to do in order to incorporate other cultures into the art process.  First we had to come up with a Native American pattern of our choice and color it with crayon onto a piece of sandpaper.  Than, using an iron we had to iron the desing onto a piece of white paper to create a copy of it. 

For an extension for this project, students could discus the Native American culture and some other forms of art they use.  One idea would be learning how to do Native American bead work.  I think there is a lot of differnt creative idea you could use with this culture.
