This week I started new classes for the CFS homeschool group.
Parents, here you can see what we did in class and what some of the concepts discussed were.
Our lesson was inspired by Mola embroideries made by the Kuna Indians of the San Blas islands near Panama. Much of the discussion was about sewing because many of my students didn't know what that was! I guess it's a dying craft.... I'll have to offer a sewing project sometime.
The assignment was to observe the different stitches and patterns used to decorate the Mola samples and to then then create an animal design decorated in a similar fashion using oil pastels rather than thread.
