Doherty Kindergarten Makes Custom Tartan Designs
March 2, 2026
In preparation for Cultural Connections week, kindergarten students in Doherty art teacher Kacey Watkins’ class designed their own custom tartan.
This year’s Cultural Connections week will transport students to Scotland. Before beginning the activity, Watkins shared a brief lesson on the history and symbolism of tartan in Scotland.
After the lesson, students picked out four Kwik Stix colors to use for their horizontal and vertical lines. Students enjoyed filling their paper with colorful lines, and seeing what combinations of colors their classmates picked out.
