Cambodian Textile Art | Explorers in the Field

From the Education Resource Library! Once considered among the finest in the world, the Cambodian textile industry was largely destroyed by years of genocide. As the country continues to recover from decades of war, textile production has once again become the cornerstone of their economy. In addition to simple fabrics, the ancient handwoven silk traditions of Ikat have been revived. Join Japanese textiles expert Kikuo Morimoto as he shares his passion for this ancient art.
Here are some activities for your students:
K-5: Draw a picture or photo strip of something you learned.
Grades 5-8: Write a short “news article” about what you learned.
High School: Produce a short video that explains something you learned today.
Share your students activities by @NatGeoEducation and using #ExplorerClassroom on Twitter. Our team will share your student work with the Explorer.
We invite you to explore collections of activities that have been developed for educators, parents, and caregivers to implement with K-12 learners. www.nationalgeographic.org/ed...
