4th and 5th grade students studied the Art of Henna. Students began by tracing their hand 6 times across their paper. They were instructed to create variety in their artwork by changing the position of the hands, creating overlap and having the hands continue off the page. Students then added a different design inside of each hand. We looked at images of traditional Henna prints as inspiration. The small details were then filled in with colored pencil and watercolor was used for the larger areas.
Your students did a fantastic job with the Henna Hands! That was a great idea for variety.
