Series 1000 – Program Notes

Show 1011 National Symbols
Patriotism is always in style and today on Hands On we look at some national symbols and how they became a symbol. First up it’s the American eagle and a very unique way to tie dye. Our basic lesson is all about how to work with Styrofoam. Then its lesson 11 with Prudy as we learn how to transfer patterns along with floating and blending brush strokes. Next it’s a feature project using Styrofoam – coincidentally we chose the elephant: a symbol of one of our political parties. Last up, it’s a turkey/eagle favor – and an interesting story about our national bird.
