N is for The Plate from Nepal

You'll need a 10" heavy duty paper plate, fine tip black permanent marker, and acrylic paints for this cool Nepal Plate art project. First, we learned about Nepal and Mount Everest using the cross-curricular educational links provided on their website. Nepal is a country between India and China.

Then, the video took us through the bird drawing process after the grid drawing and relaxation exercises. As we watched the video presentation, the term "motif" was explained and then motifs were drawn on the feathers and plate border. A motif is a repeated pattern.
