I always look forward to the results of this lesson. There is vibrancy and many options that really get the students thinking. It is also a fun and educational lesson learning the human face in a simplistic way. This involved learning how the face will cast shadows on the skin.
Students learned what a Pow Wow is. A Pow-wow is a gathering of North America’s indigenous people. Originally a Pow-wow was a meeting of leaders and had a spiritual side. Today a Pow-wow is a dance, to sing, socialize,and generally have a good time. Some Pow-wows can last up to one week long! These would be called for on a special occasion.
Having been to a few Pow-wows to get pictures for my personal artwork I have been inspired with the beauty and pride held in these events. I love going, love the colors, their outfits and the energy at these events. I find it very inspiring.
We read this book together The Apache.
