MIDDLE CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

As part of our Fibre and Design Unit, students were introduced to Ojo de Dios- (oh-ho-day-DEE-ohs) ‘The Eye of the God’. Central & South Americans used textiles to represent their culture and day-to-day lifestyle. Traditionally when people made a God’s Eye, they were expressing a prayer that the Eye of God would watch over them and the person they were making their God’s Eye for. Students weaved their own God’s Eye and wrote about the special person in their life that they had made it for.
