Hmong Art Drawing Game
Ready to ignite your elementary art curriculum with engaging, no prep art projects for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month? This Hmong art drawing lesson will boost confidence and creativity. Kids will enjoy learning about the folk art tradition of making story cloths. Moreover, they’ll find the Hmong symbols intriguing.
And, it’ll help time-starved teachers like you create art lesson plans based on the rich history of the Hmong people of Southeast Asia.
During this art project, your class will discover the tradition of flower cloth making and the use of hidden symbols in traditional Hmong clothing. Use this lesson plan to teach about the difference between geometric vs. free-form shapes. Students will paint a Hmong vase with tempera cakes using the step-by-step guide and PowerPoint.
Plan lessons for classes about Hmong art history in a way that excites them. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art!
What’s Included
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!
I’ve designed 3 different ways for kids to attempt this Hmong vase art project. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” idea worksheet for kids to choose their own elements
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- 2 Hmong vase templates, which kids can draw directly on or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
- Hmong art handout which explains Hmong traditions and culture
- “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet where students write about their art process
- Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project
- Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up
- 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
- 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
- Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by Hmong folk art outside of the art room

I bought all of these available. Students loved them, and they are great for when you need something quick, enjoyable, and educational. I appreciate the many options, as the games never get old. Also, the pictures never turn out the same way twice.

We were studying different cultures and this was one of the only art activities I could find for the Hmong culture. My students with special needs enjoyed it and became very interested in the similarities between their culture and the Hmong culture.
