Art inspired by our African Drumming lessons


Did you see what Kofi displayed as the background to our African Drumming performance? It was a Kente cloth from Ghana! We learned all about the meaning of this traditional cloth and how it was woven. We also discovered that different colours had different meanings.

Students made their own simple patterns and designs from coloured paper and white oil pastels, inspired by these Kente designs.



Grade 1 and 2 students talked about some of the beautiful animals found in Africa and then made their own gorgeous giraffe collages.
