The materials in this unit may be used by a single teacher or in collaboration with teachers of different disciplines. Focusing on Hindu religious objects found in an art museum, the unit suggests connections between art and world studies themes. In addition, these highly symbolic objects provide much material for discussion of the creation of images, whether in two or three dimensions, in speech, or in music. In this way, study of the objects provides a springboard for creativity in art, language arts, and music.
