Beads carry stories across time. ✨ In this mixed media art lesson plan, students create “Beadies”—tiny narrative collages made from handmade polymer clay beads and curated commercial beads. It’s a hands-on way to explore how materials, patterns, and symbols can express identity, culture, and connection. A meaningful studio project that builds design skills while encouraging personal storytelling through art.
