4-8th Grade Name Molas

Fourth through eighth grade students begin each fall with some form of artwork to help identify their hall lockers. This year they are learning about Molas, a fabric layering art form from the Kuna Indians of Panama. The students are using layers of colored construction paper to make abstract looking designs that secretly reveal their names upon close observation.


Getting started

Cutting the first layer

Almost done with one name

A finished mola

And one more!
