Is art connected to geography? It sure is! Your class will find out how even clay that comes from a certain location can have deep symbolic meaning. The class will analyze the piece, Mud Woman Rolls On and then research how geographic location influences culture, community, and art. Individuals research their own family lines, tracing how they came to the United States. The project culminates in a map that tells the story of each pupil's life.
