From site:
Crafting North Carolina is a social studies curriculum-based art education website for 4th graders in North Carolina schools. This is a friendly, fun, engaging, and educational website to be used in the classroom.
The development of Crafting North Carolina: A hands-on exploration of North Carolinas hand-made heritage! is a natural outgrowth of the Mint Museums twenty-year collaboration with area schools. The major goal of Crafting is to link the museums collection to core fourth grade curriculum by reinforcing the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Social Studies.
This site encourages educators and parents to take full advantage of the museums educational resources and extraordinary collection in a fun, friendly, and engaging format. Works of art have wonderful stories to tell. So what better way for students to learn about North Carolinas geography, history, and resources than to study the crafts of the state? Craftings unique website combines images of objects plus video clips of artists at work, animation, audio, games, “virtual” tours, and lesson plans for teachers and parents.
