Mud Cloth Paintings by 3rd Graders
3rd Grade is in the process of creating a mud cloth style painting. On the first day of this lesson we have used an interactive website to learn about Bogolanfini from Mali, Africa. Each student participated to create a piece of mud cloth as a class. Students then used their imaginations and symbols and designs from authentic cloth to design the brown paper.
