West African Kente Cloth
Paper Weaving
Students used their IPOD Touches and watched a video from ITunes University about the Kente Cloth. Here's a podcast link to the same video: http://podcast.open.ac.uk/oulearn/arts-and-humanities/podcast-a216-textiles-ghana#
Then we used construction paper to create our own Kente cloth. We learned the difference between a warp and a weft and how to weave patterns like the Asante people in Africa. They also used lines and geometric shapes to decorate their kente cloth.
