Students working on their maps...
Aminah Robinson is a local artist. She lives and works in Columbus, Ohio. Aminah Robinson often creates artwork about her community, and tells stories of her family and people that are important to her through the artwork. Aminah Robinson combines many materials in her artwork, or uses mixed media. Third graders thought about places in their community that were important to them and created mini drawings. Students then combined many materials including fabric, yarn, buttons, and beads to create a mixed-media map of their community. Third graders practiced their sewing skills to add details to their maps.
