Throughout time, innovators have taken basic ideas and changed them into creative and cutting-edge designs. Kids tackle the topic of innovations in relation to traditional or creative objects. They discuss traditional Navajo pottery then examine a piece that has been changed by a creative thinker. They engage in artistic innovations of their own as they make window hangings based on traditional Navajo designs, but with new and unusual twists.
