Sixth graders used the Ecuadorian flag as a starting point to discuss coats of arms and flag symbolism. They then each designed their own personal coat of arms, choosing colors and symbols that to reflect their own identity. After the designs were complete, students traced these onto their screens using Elmer's glue as a resist. Now we are working on painting the screen-printing inks onto the screens and thus onto their shirts, which will bear their own personal flags. Keep an eye out for their colorful designs!
