Navajo rugs

Students started out watching a short video about how real Navajo rugs are made.



They glued down paper strips and added fringes  


The next week was spent adding patterns and drawing symbols. 






The third week was spent looking at Navajo children of today. Students then spent the remainder of the class painting in lines and shapes onto their rug.





We finished up the Navajo rugs this week. Our last steps were to draw in symbols we had been working on for a few weeks. The symbols were drawn on in a pattern. Some students chose to put yarn fringes on when they were finished and some chose not to.

They worked so hard on these and they turned out fabulous!
