Native Designs at the Hoover Dam

Last week was spring break for me and one of my friends came into town. She doesn't like the strip and clubs, etc. so this was more of a nature trip. On our excursions we took the Hoover Dam tour and inside of the dam are native american designs based on southwestern pottery all over the floor. Check them out.

Community Based Art Education

This fall I did a unit plan on arts in Las Vegas. With second grade we examined the petroglyphs in Red Rock Canyon. To create their work students wrote a story using 4-5 petroglyphs on white 11"x14" paper using black crayon. Afterwards we sponged watered-down brown paint all over our paper and crumpled it up before it dried. That created a rocky effect.
