Fine Art – Cultural Artifacts
In our current unit, we are learning about a range of cultures from around the world. For an in-class artwork assignment we want to use an artifact (from our own cultural background) and use our fine art skills to ‘draw what you can see’.
We kindly ask that your child brings in an artifact from their culture to sketch. This artifact should be able to comfortably fit on your child’s desk. 
Artifacts can include but are not limited to the following:
-       Mask
-       Pottery
-       Dolls/Figurines
-       Coin
-        Religious artifact (eg. icon)
-       Jewelry
Please bring your artifact by Tuesday, January 14^th.
Artifacts will be returned at the end of this unit in January.
Many thanks,


Ms. Hughes & Ms. Coldwells
