You could even use black markers with various thicknesses too so that you don’t have to wait on the paint to dry for a shorter lesson.

Yes- I think if you prepped beforehand, told them to be light on the paint, and started them painting right at the beginning (so it could dry before you weave). Maybe while it’s drying you could give them a little lesson about the kente cloth? Another idea would be to use color strips of paper, and just have them paint details in black on them? So you could use red, yellow, and green paper, and have them paint the stripes/dots/triangles, etc in black. Then it would for sure dry quicker!

Question: I am thinking of doing this art project for 1st graders as a visiting Art Residency. I am teaching a one hour art lesson with 30 students in each 1st grade class. Do you feel this is possible in one session. I gather I would have to at least prep cutting up strips of color construction paper ahead of time. Thanks for any insights!

How cool!!! I have strong connections to Peru- my brother and sister are adopted from Cuzco, and my other sister speaks Quechua and has done a lot of research/living/working in Peru. How cool that the kids liked the project, and what a multicultural experience! 🙂

I studied abroad in Ghana and am currently serving as a PCV in Peru, so I’ve been wanting to share a bit of West Africa with the Andes. The kids and I did this project last week and loved it!
