Kuna Molas Lesson Plan

All of the students love their progress!!!

This week in the 8th Grade art class, the students have been working with Kuna Molas... I gave them a powerpoint presentation on Monday which explained what exactly a Mola is and how the Kuna people make them. Then I showed them an Example of the artwork on Tuesday, and they got to work!

My example...

Day 1 of work, they were to bring in a sketch of their prefered animal, and a reason of why it was symbolic to them. They then drew it on a piece of color paper and cut it out, once the correct size, and once a small amount bigger than the original.

Cutting materials...

Day 2 required them to complete their border around the edge of the paper. Day 3 was for them to catch up with the rest of the class and to start filling in the rest of the space with design and other elements that somehow connected to their animal.
