Rock on!

The rock art that has been preserved all over Southern Utah is spectacular! When studying the Native Americans of Utah my class created "rocks" out of crumpled newspaper that was taped in place then covered with paper mache. Once dry, we painted the rocks to look like the rocks we could find in Utah. The final step in this project was to paint characters to tell a story. My students really got into the this project. This took us a number of sessions so we worked a little every day at the end of the day. This is one of those projects a student remembers for life. They were so proud to bring their rock art home!
