Africa: Kente weaving and Adinkra stamping

 

Kente was originally only worn by royalty

Kente is woven with the colors of the country's flag

 First graders are learning about art from Africa. 
Here are some examples of our paper and cloth weavings,  adorned with adinkra symbol stamps or Anansi the spider.



These pre-made stamps are great when you don't have time to make your own and they come with a symbol translation sheet



This project is enhanced with the story of the beloved African folk character, Anansi the Spider, teaching us how to weave Kente cloth
