Ancient Art- How was it expressed?

Hi Kids,
  During our new unit we will explore our native & ancient culture thru the lens of artistic expression!  How do you express yourself while happy, sad, full of energy, angry or upset?  Do you sing louder, dance faster, paint more carefully...? How did our Precolombian ancestors express themselves?  
What evidence is left for us to learn more about their way of life?
 Please visit the following online museums to examine different artifacts & see what you can find out!!
