ART OF INDIA

During the 2004 - 2005 school year, students explored the art and culture of India. They learned about traditional arts and crafts, costume, and architecture along with important animals of India. The Art show displayed their art along with arts and crafts of India. Students and parents were treated with a buffet of traditional Indian foods. Fourth graders made the posters for this exhibit. Below is a sampling of projects.
