Kente Cloth Collage




For the second day of making collages, Pre K looked at some kente cloths and learned how these are fabrics weaved together and originally worn by royalty in Africa.  We used similar patterns and shapes to make our own kente cloths, inspired by similar colors as well as geometric patterns and shapes used in theirs.  We continued to practice arranging our shapes by overlapping, spreading far apart, and touching, to create an interesting design.  The last step, was gluing them down to make them stick!
