My Project

Students are enrolled in Arts and Crafts elective at our High School. They are creating various crafts from materials that are available to them. We will create basket weaving and learn about weaving from various culture. Students will engage in creative development of hand made items.

These classes enhance social interaction between students and encourage creative thinking and problem solving as they create hands on crafts and arts.

Spring crafts will include a project creating unique masks and hand crafted baskets. This project will support creative exploration for students. Thank You
