When Germans moved to our area in the late 1700's through the 1800's, they brought with them many traditions from their homeland. One of these traditions was the making of Frakturs to celebrate the great occasions of their lives. Frakturs are a form of Folk Art and the fourth grade students are creating their interpretation of the tradition.
We are creating a symmetric design using traditional Fraktur images and adding our names and birth dates. The coloring is done with Prismacolor pencils.
This is definitely a project worthy of a frame!
