The 5th grade students created henna self-portraits. We discussed what a
self-portrait is and the different proportions of the face. Then we
looked at different examples of henna designs and read about the importance
of henna in some cultures. The students learned that henna originated
from the Egyptians over 5000 years ago and is a symbol of good luck.
Henna is used in countries such as India, Africa and the Middle East for
celebrating birth, death and marriage. The 5th graders were able to create their own henna designs on their hands.
