Dear Art Educators,

Susan M posted this lesson link to Art Education list. I know many of
you do dollmaking with your students.

Native American Dolls
http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/native_dolls/index.html

The lesson is 28 pages and has many images - so it takes a very long
time to download. Lesson presents "the perspectives and experiences of
Native doll makers describing how their work is keeping old traditions
and developing new ones. These Native voices encourage students to
examine dolls from the collections of the museum and to connect them
to the diverse cultures, communities, and environments."

Students would them follow up with a dollmaking activity (corn husk,
cloth, wire, paper mache - Sculpy - whatever you have on hand).

If anyone does a unit around these dolls, let me know. I would like to
put your lesson plan on Incredible Art Department (I will link to the
Smithsonian lesson as resource).
