Senufo Cloth Art Workshop at the DIA

We went to the DIA* today. It was very cold and windy and the sidewalks were icy and there was blowing snow, so we walked at the DIA and then looked around. I participated in a workshop on a Senufo African artform done on cloth. I joined near the end, so didn't have as much time as the others to either learn about it or do a good job, but I had fun anyway. Here's a one (a turtle, by a 7th graders, not at my workshop.) Here's a bird, also by a 7th grader. Here's a real one done by an African Tribesperson.
