Fish Prints

Children sponge paint an ocean background, then paint a real fish and make a print. The fish print is cut out and glued onto the prepared background. 

Table Painting

Students hear a story about a traditional Tlingit paintbrush and learn how to hold a small brush and paint on paper on a flat tabletop, as opposed to an easel.  

Trickster Scissors

Students are inspired to “change shapes” with scissors by hearing a story about Tlingit Raven changing shapes.  After cutting papers into small pieces, students reassemble them and name their new design.
