We took brown paper bags, crumpled them up, soaked them in very watered down brown/black tempera 'soup', then smoothed them to dry. Afterwards, we painted scenes from the stories with bright tempera paint and when dry, outlined the painting with black marker.Katjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170686350584900691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186667433819310087.post-74593952962673895972009-07-30T23:23:54.368-04:002009-07-30T23:23:54.368-04:00I'm a huge fan of trickster tales, so I'm ...I'm a huge fan of trickster tales, so I'm entering a few:<br />"Zomo the Rabbit" a Trickster Tale from West Africa" by Gerald McDermott<br />"Borreguita and Coyote" by Verna Aardema<br />"Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti" by Gerald McDermott<br />"Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest" by Gerald McDermott<br />The trickster tradition is found throughout the world, but Anansi is probably my favorite.Katjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170686350584900691noreply@blogger.com
