Ryan Art 6 Totem Animals

Our 6th graders have begun their first REAL project- as we have put our Semester Project Monsters up for a while.

We are in the planning stages for our 6th graders.

We learned about Native American totems. A totem is an animal used to represent a family or clan. 
We took a personality quiz to identify different aspects and adjectives we could use to describe our personality. We then used THAT information to figure out which totem might represent us.

We do research to help students have "meaning making." What we mean is that we want our students to move AWAY from just making pretty stuff "just because" and move towards having a "WHY" behind our artwork.  Ask your student about their totem animal!
