Imagination Running Wild: Animal Molas
School: St John the Evangelist 1st-4th grade students
Educating Artist: Andrea Skyberg
Students created Mola designs which were modeled after the Molas created by the Kuna Woman from Panama. Each student represented a known animal in their cut-paper Molas. They then created a silouetted imaginary animal, which was the main focus in the middle canvas. By seeing the features within the known animals and using what was already familiar to them, students were able to push the limits of their imagination to created new, dynamic animals that have never existed before.
