Folk Art Tells a Story
From the Back Cover: What art teaches us in forms that range from rock art and clay pots to songs and scrimshaw, folk art teaches us about the customs, traditions, and values of people around the world and throughout history. With this book, educators can tap into diverse forms of folk art and introduce students to the cultures, people, and art of the world. Birdhouses, weather vanes, scarecrows, kachina dolls, cornhusk ristras, puppets, masks, Peruvian Arpilleras, and Navajo weaving are just a few of the art activities offered in the book. For each project, the author provides a list of materials needed, background information about the people who created it, and learning extensions. Unusual enough to add to the art teacher's typical repertoire, but simple enough for nonartists, this book provides a wonderful way to integrate art, social studies, language arts, and music. Anyone who works with young children will appreciate it.

The volume sends users to the best stories retold in English from the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and colonists, African slave cultures, indentured servants from India, and more than 75 indigenous tribes from 21 countries.
