From my Art History for children classes: Celtic-style art

In my Art History for Children classes we learn a variety of styles and art movements from the history of art. In this class, the students look at Celtic Art and the stylized designs of overlapping, rhythmical patterns. This is a dragon's head and ribbon pattern, copied from Celtic images seen.
