5th grade- Native American Pottery Still Lifes

Students studied Native American culture in social studies so I wanted to tie it into the art room.

Day 1 and 2- after looking at examples of Native American pottery, students cut out neutral colored construction paper to create their pots. Decorated them with Natuve American symbols using sharpie.

Day 3- we created shadows and highlights on pots using black and white chalk. We glued a tan piece of paper to a gray piece to create the background. Then we glued our pot to the paper. Lastly, we 

drew a shadow on the table in our artwork. 

I used to make this a bigger project, but it took 5 class periods, so I decided to shorten it this year.
