I am so exited to tell you about our African art project! We read the chapter African History. Our project is from Ghana.

We used kente cloth to go on to of our drum that we created.

First we hot glued to coffee canisters together bottom to bottom.

Then we used paper to go around the coffee canisters and hot glued it.

Then we got gold string and put blue and yellow beads on the string and glued the strings with the beads on them.

Then we painted cloth gold, blue, and yellow.

Last we glued the cloth on both sides.

We used three colors that represented our chapter.

Yellow represents royalty, wealthy, holy, precious. According to the passage from the 400s to 500s CE, several West African People thrived.

We also used the color blue because it represented peace, harmony, so According to the passage the Europeans traded with Africans for gold, ivory, and spices. So they were nice to trade with other people.

Last we used gold it represents royalty, wealthy, spiritual purity so it was like the color yellow.

This is our drum that we made!
