This is 1st grade's role in the Native American Unit I do every November. We read a great book called The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush, which is a story about how a boy named little gopher had a special talent of painting. The story is a legend of how there were these magic paintbrushes that sprung from the hill sides that encompasses all the colors needed to create a sunset painting. So after reading the book and discussing the native culture we create our own watercolor sunset painting. They always turn out beautiful and I love the book and its relation to the unit.
