6th Grade: Huichol Yarn Paintings

For this project, we took a look at the art of the Huichol people of Mexico. Their art depicts religious symbols and gods. They use colorful yarn and beads pushed into sticky bees wax to create these detailed pieces.

For our project, we used symbols of the Catholic Church. Students drew there designs and then filled them with color using glue and yarn. The time consuming project takes patience and a steady hand.
