NATIVE AMERICAN STORY NECKLACES

Learning Targets

I can...

Create a Story Necklace using manufacturing techniques (uniformity, thickness, sandstones) learned in class
Use form (two dimensional, three dimensional), shape (biomorphic, anthropomorphic), and color (metallic-bronze, copper, gold) relating to Native American Art
Make social studies connections (adornments, religious implications, indigenous people) and use design principles (unity, variety, emphases) inspired by the 16th Century Old Copper Complex
Define Fetishes (necklace designed to illustrate story, history, and legend with carved creatures)

Lesson One

Day One, Art Start

1. Old Copper Complex (4000 to 1000 BCE) Native American Societies

2. The Star People: A Lakota Story by S.D. Nelson

3. Reflective Discussion "Large Deposits of pure native copper are on the North Shore of Lake Superior, Isle Royale, and Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. Copper Deposit reports were recorded by the earliest French explorers (1608) of the Great Lake Region in Champlain. These explorers found native copper made by Algonquin Indians and sent these artifacts to King Henry IV of France. The first indigenous peoples who mined and utilized this copper were labeled the "Old Copper Complex" or "Old Copper Culture" by archeologists."

Lesson Activities

1. Use hand building techniques (rolling, kneading pressing) to make FIVE wampum beads

2. Use jewelry making techniques (rubbing, peeling, pressing) to make ONE elaborate pendant that represents a cultural tale, loved one, or an aboriginal legend

3. Create a small "artifact" (fish hook, spear point, gorget) to be incorporated into the final design of the Story Necklace
