Native American Art Project: The First Strawberries - A Relief Sculpture Project

This Native American project is a great activity to welcome SPRING! The inspiration for this lesson comes from a book by Joseph Bruchac: The First Strawberries. This is a Cherokee story that teaches us the importance of forgiveness. Students will create a Strawberry relief sculpture combined with painting techniques.

Included are:

• comprehension questions for the story (book not included)
• step by step procedures to create a strawberry plant with clay
• discussion questions to inspire painting
• a student reflection
• links to strawberry coloring sheets to print
• art standard checklist

Students will love the simple technique and method they can use to create the unique textures of the strawberry! The Perfect activity for SPRING!
