I got this lesson out of a book I purchased this summer called, Dynamic Art a Projects for Children by Denise Logan. It is a great book with step by step instructions, handouts, and student examples.
To begin the lesson, I used a power point to provide background information on Molas and the Kuna people. Molas originated as a form of body painting which evolved into a textile art.
The process...
1. On 12x18 paper students drew an animal, flower, or some other subject for the focus of the design.
They were asked to focus on the outline and fill in the center with geometric shapes.
Then they outlined their design twice.
2. When the drawing was complete they colored it brightly with markers and crayons.
3. Then they cut it out and glued it to a 12x18 piece of black paper.
4. For the background they glued 1/2" strips of colored construction paper. I cut these with the paper cutter and finally used that box of scrap paper up.
