North American Art



Once a week, we will be including art projects that coincide with the countries we are studying. The projects will mostly come from a book entitled Global Art.

Did you know?
Over 100 years ago, the Sioux Indians did not write their stories down like we do today. Instead, the painted pictures on rawhide that would tell about important events in their lives and in the tribe. These rawhide drawings would then be tied to sticks called "coup sticks." The sticks were useful for retelling stories of events gone by.

Our events gone by??
