PROCEDURE
Introduction Time
 Last week we looked at colour. This week we are going to look at pattern, shape,
and symbols. These are what is designed on an artwork. There is a type of art
called craft or home arts. These arts are often considered bellow work in
museums. But this work is art we see every day. Who has a pattern on their
5-10 min
clothing? This is a craft. I have embodery on my shirt, this is a craft. What
patterns are on my shirt?

started) I am going to give you a piece of paper to make
your moccasin, but before I do so you need to plan
your pattern in your journal using coloured pencils.
Once you have made your pattern you will get your
moccasin.
