Wampum+Project

It took us about four weeks to do this project. It could be done in 3 if you are the type who sends work home to absent kids. The page is set to a column width of 25 pixels.

Week 1: Discuss wampum and look at examples on line. Discuss how excel works in a grid. Week 2: Draw a design on paper filling in boxes as we go rather than traditional drawing. Explain how to make rounded and sloped shapes. Week 3: Begin filling in your template. Week 4: Complete drawings, save to flash drive for printing in color.

Classroom extension: Have the students write a short paragraph about their design and explain why they chose that design and the colors.
