Project Time

Students learned about indigo dyeing for tying and starch resist fabric. They tied objects to their t-shirts and made designs with rubber bands. They also carved adinkra symbols into linoleum to make stamps.

These third graders have worked on gaining skills such as weaving, wood carving, molding wax, and found object art that they can use when choose their project topics. Students also looked at a variety of kits from the Brooklyn Children's Museum containing staffs, masks, toys/games, baskets, stools, and statues (some of which are photographed here).
