~ <br /> � <br /> PROPOSED DAILY SCHEDULE <br /> In general, each day of the residency will include a short discussion component <br /> followed by a hands-on activity: <br /> Discussion topic: <br /> We will present a brief overview of the residency, telling the students about the Native <br /> Americans of the Pacific Northwest—their location, their traditions and culture—and <br /> explaining our plan for the students' hands-on activities and final performance. We will <br /> then present the story of"Whale in the Sky" on the SmartBoard accompanied by the <br /> taped narration. <br /> We will discuss how the Native Americans obtained their color pigments which they <br /> used in their artwork. <br /> We will hand out pre-drawn masks to each student. Each classroom will work one one <br /> character of the story (Thunderbird, Whale, Frog). For this first day, students will start <br /> working on their masks by laying down a thin layer of paint on them as well as their <br /> accompanying headbands. In addition, using the limited palette of the Native Americans <br /> (black, white, red, green, yellow), students will paint sheets of color which will be used <br /> for the cutout shapes to be applied to their masks on Day 5. <br /> Discussion topic: <br /> We will discuss totem poles and how they also served as a story-telling objects. <br /> After a brief demo showing how to form their animals, each table (of 4 or 5)will be <br /> making their own totem pole made up from individual animals which each child will <br /> sculpt from a piece of self-hardening clay. The group can then make up their own story <br />
