Our "Selves" in Colors: Personally designed, printed and
painted cloths
6th Grade
Teacher Partner: Pat Ternove
Teaching Artist: Rachel Schwartzman
Students began by learning about the costume of the Mogul Empire In
India. Taking advantage of a visit to the Indian gallery at the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, students learned about history, mythology
and artistic traditions. Students then explored and translated their
own identity exhibited in their personal costume and culture and
utilized a variety of printing and painting techniques to visually
realize their investigations.
Right: A student translates her identity into a symbol painted on cloth.
