ADINKRA

"Greenie", an inspiring teacher at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, comes to Aba House every summer for an art "fix". Not trained as an artist she just needs a little help getting started, but once on the right track there's no stopping her. Here are a few photos of ADINKRA being taught in "Greenies" classroom. 

ADINKRA is a good hands on way to introduce students of any age to African culture. The stamps are easy to handle and each has a meaning based on an African proverb.

We sell the stamps. Our best customers are artists and teachers.
