We recalled shapes and symbols from the various countries through which students had travelled in studies curriculum. Most recently, we'd been exploring the Ukraine, ( as well as my own stories of growing up Polish in Calgary), through the process of creating pysanky. The remembered patterns and symbols were broken down to fundamental shapes and then created in folded cardboard blocks.
The blocks were heated in bees wax and then stamped on the cloth. In this case, groups of 5 are decorating the tails of a kite. Each participant created cardboard shapes in response to their own cultural study. As a group, students decided on a repeating pattern of symbols along the length of their kite tail. There are 5 tails in total.
