Fourth grade students learned about Molas made by the Kuna of Panama. The Kuna are famous for the bright cloth panels and they are a part of the blouse worn by the women. Mola means shirt or clothing. Mola are made up of geometric designs as well as incorporating figures of sea animals, birds and flowers. Our Mola inspired art was made with brightly colored construction paper. The challange was drawing the central figure large enough for our large paper (12"x15"). Many of the sutdents incorporated symbols or images to create more of a story within their art.
