Mehndi Hand Messages

The 8th grade pen and Ink unit culminated into a sculpture of a hand filled with Mehndi Designs. Students used radials designs and symbols to fill the space on the front and back of a non latex glove, then stuffed with poly and secured onto a base.

When the sculptures were finished they grouped up with  their hands to create inspirational messages using American Sign Language. They created videos of these messages that were sent to Ms. Hanson who is battling breast cancer.

This project was really meaningful for all and something we will definitely incorporate next year!
