Introduce the art of the Australian Aborigines and line designs through hand prints. Trace your hand on a piece of card stock and cut out. Lay the hand in the middle of a large piece of construction paper. Splatter paint or drizzle watered-down paint from a squirt bottle. Once dry, remove the hand stencil and use thin markers or crayons to draw a variety of lines around the hand stencil.
Discover Native American culture through the decorative art of making dreamcatchers. Use paper twist ribbon, yarn, feathers and beads. Discuss the Native American story of Iktomi while making the dreamcatchers. Talk about how the dreamcatcher catches good dreams and lets bad ones fall through. Make a hoop from a piece of paper twist taped into a circle. Stretch the yarn from one side of the hoop to the other and then back and forth to make a web. Add beads before securing on the edge of the hoop. Add a few pieces of yarn to the bottom of the hoop strung with beads. Tie feathers on the ends. Add a small ring of yarn at the top to hang the dreamcatcher.
Create Calavera, or skull masks. Cut out a mask shape from a piece of card stock. View images of colorful Day of the Dead masks for inspiration. Embellish the skull mask with glitter glue, puffy paint and sequins. Alternately, make masks from clay and press charms, beads and sequins into the clay before it dries.
Make kimonos to decorate small two-dimensional dolls to explore the culture of Japan. Use a flat ice cream spoon for the head and neck. Glue it to a rectangle piece of black card stock. Wrap colorful paper over the body of the doll to make the kimono. Cross the paper over the body and glue in place. Add a colorful sash around the middle of the doll. Draw a face on the wood spoon with a black fine tip permanent marker. Add small red lips with a red marker.
