[Virtual Event ] Crayola Creativity Week: Dancing with Traditions with Ria Thundercloud & Kalila J. Fuller
2023-01-25 06:00 - 22:30 (America/Chicago) | https://facebook.com/
On day 3 of Crayola Creativity Week, Crayola Education and Penguin Classroom are excited to be joined by Indigenous dancer & movement artist, Ria Thundercloud, with a read-aloud of her picture book, FINDING MY DANCE, which explores dance as a form of self-expression and how it can reflect authentic cultural heritage. Access the content anytime throughout the day (it only takes 30 mins to complete each activity). Then share kids’ artwork using #CrayolaCreativityWeek.

As students hear Ria’s story, they’ll be moved to connect culture, identity, and self-expression. From pow-wows to traditional regalia, Ria will captivate students with her remarkable journey. Then they can draw and illustrate nature-inspired patterns and dance poses, making their art dance on paper with Kalila J. Fuller!
