Bracelet Making

On Monday, my group and I spent the first half of the day working on our Kumasi project. We gathered information on the city and tried to decide what each letter of the alphabet should represent. It was hard work and I may or may have not fell asleep a couple of times, but my group kept me going. Me and Gillian got the culture part of the project. I was pretty happy about that; since I could do the art research for the project.

After lunch, both groups gathered in one room to do an activity. A guest visited and talked to us about beading in Ghana. He wasn't from Ghana but he was an art teacher and he knew quite a bit about Ghanaian beads. After talking to us, we got o make our own bracelets. We painted them and put them on a string so we could wear them. I chose to go with a pastel color pallet for my bracelet. I didn't put enough beads on my bracelet so it was a little wonky, but I was happy with it nonetheless. The activity was really fun and I might make more bracelets in the future.
