Where did henna come from? The answer might surprise you! In this class, students are taken on a virtual tour around the world, making stops in places that have historically used henna to explore their history through the lens of this ancient art. Students will be introduced to the varied capacities that henna has been adopted by cultural communities around the globe, and how its use -- from medicinal application to the ever-popular body art -- has evolved over thousands of years. This class incorporates geography, cultural studies, history, and art appreciation seamlessly, and is ideal for those young learners who have an interest in travel, art, and cross-cultural experiences.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I've worked as a henna professional and educator for a decade, and am the artist behind the most celebrated henna boutique in Baltimore, Maryland. One of the most common questions that's asked both by my clients and henna students is, "Where did henna come from?" -- opening the door for rich conversation about cultural exchange and appreciation. I'm excited to share about the vibrant and varied history of henna with the learners on Outschool as it will undoubtedly surprise and delight them to see just how far and wide this ancient art has reached!Reviews
