Great Multicultural lesson! Adinkra-Inspired Pillows Lesson Plan. "Students will repeat a design with handmade stamps. They will learn about traditional African fabric design, dyeing and decorative stitching. Rather than copy a traditional art form from another culture, students will be inspired by their symbols and techniques and apply those to their own images to make the work personally significant."

Students will consider how history is constructed by voices that typically represent only one side of conflict. Students will study other cultures to learn about conflict around the world. http://www.pbs.org/art21/education/war/lesson3.html
