Cave Art Comes Alive

For this project Miss Swenson and Miss Kranz asked us to remember an important event from our childhood. They discussed in prehistoric times are was used as a way to record stories and communicate with each other. For this project we received a piece of crumbled brown paper and colored mud mixed with water and tempera powder. We used the mud to create a picture we remembered from our childhood. We also used another natural element. I used a stick in my picture. In my picture I remembered climbing a tree at my grandma's house with my sisters and cousins.

An extension activity for Language Arts is have the students write the story about their memory to go with their picture and share it with the class.
