Manualidad Para Llevar a Casa: Mola Art - Panama

10/9/2021

0 Comments

 
The mola, or molas, forms part of the traditional outfit of a Kuna woman in Panama. In Dulegaya, the Kuna’s native language, mola actually means “shirt” or “clothing.” The mola stems from a Kunan tradition of women painting their bodies with geometric designs. These designs were later woven into cotton and then sewn into cloth that was acquired from the European settlers of Panama. The way that molas are made is with a reverse applique technique. What this means is that the different colored layers of fabric are stacked and stitched together; the colors visible through cutaway parts of the fabric. For today’s activity we will be emulating mola art using paper!
​Materials:
● Construction paper
● Scissors
● Animal template
● Glue

​Instructions:
  1. Draw out an animal shape on a blank piece of paper, or use one of the animal templates provided in the kit, and cut it out. 
  2. Choose a colored piece of paper and use your template to trace and cut the animal in your first color. We chose black so that the layers below it would pop more. 
  3. Glue the cutout onto your second color cut around, leaving an outline of the color around your first cutout. Repeat this process for however many colors you want and then glue on a new piece of paper. 
  4. Use your scraps of paper to decorate your animal and the background.

And you’re done!

Manualidad Para Llevar a Casa:​ Arte Mola Panama

La mola, o molas, forma parte del atuendo tradicional de una mujer Kuna en Panamá. En Dulegaya, el idioma nativo de los kuna, mola significa "camisa" o "ropa". La mola proviene de una tradición kunan de mujeres que pintan sus cuerpos con diseños geométricos. Estos diseños luego se tejieron en algodón y luego se cosieron en telas que se adquirieron de los colonos europeos de Panamá. La forma en que se hacen las molas es una técnica de aplicación inversa. Lo que significa que las capas de tela de diferentes colores están apiladas y cosidas; los colores son visibles a través de las partes recortadas de la tela. ¡Para la actividad de hoy, emularemos el arte mola usando papel!
Materiales:
● Cartoncillo de colores
● Tijeras
● Plantilla de animal
● Pegamento

Instrucciones:
  1. Dibuja la forma de un animal en una hoja de papel en blanco, o usa una de las plantillas de animales provistas en el kit y córtala.
  2. Elije una hoja de papel de color y use tu plantilla para trazar y cortar el animal en el primer color. Nosotros elegimos el negro para que las capas de debajo resaltaran más.
  3. Pega el recorte en el segundo corte de color alrededor, dejando un contorno del color alrededor del primer recorte. Repite este proceso para la cantidad de colores que deseas y luego pega una nueva hoja de papel.
  4. Usa tus trozos de papel para decorar tu animal y el fondo.
¡Ya terminastes!
