For our first project in Unit 1: Art is a Language, fourth graders will be studying the spirit animals as a part of Native American art and culture. Students will discover the stories and meanings behind the Native American belief in the animal guides, and will explore their own characteristics to match themselves to a spirit animal. Using Native American totems and drawings and inspiration, students will create a mixed-media drawing of the animal they choose.
