Sixth grade students
were inspired by the repetition and bold patterns in African textiles. Many
of the animal images come from contemporary textile designs and the bronze relief of the
ancient Benin culture. Drawings were created using CrayolaŽ Over Writer
markers. The central animal image was scanned into the computer and then altered by
the students. The digital image was cut and strips and woven into the original
drawing.
