Art Brightens Our World

Do you know what molas are? Molas are part of History. Molas can be made of fabric too. We also are making molas in art class. We have already been working on them four weeks. I made a heart with designs on it. I really tryed my best on it. One of my other friends made some hearts too. A mola is kinda like a big important thing. We are making ours out of paper. You can make them out of anything now. People in the old days made molas. They designed a lot of them and hung them on the walls of caves. ...Mary

In art class we have been making a thing called a mola. They are cool but hard to make. Know why? Well, first we have to draw something like a dog bone for example. Then you have to cut it out. After that you have to cut out noches . That is the hard part. Then you get a red piece of paper and do the same except for make notches on the paper. ...Ryan C.

Molas are made of a design of something that's cool to you. Then you use a variety of colors on it. It is much fun, but you loose time. It took a very long time to make it. Some people are still not done. The most used designs are flowers and hearts. ...Andrew C.

 

Molas are from a long time ago. People used them to decorate their walls. We made them out of paper, but people a long time ago made their molas out of fabric. I think they made them out of silk, wool, velvet and satin. Molas take a long time to make. They are really fun to make but really hard too. Most people in my class made flowers or hearts. We had to put a lot of designs on them and overlap colors. It was really hard, but fun. I hope everybody gets theirs done so can start a new project. ...Olivia

How to Make a Mola
by Kaylyn

First, you decide what colors you'll use. (four at the least) Then, you cut out a simple pattern. After that, you cut out diamonds or circles around the shape. Then, you glue on the next piece of paper. Next you cut out your pattern (a little smaller than the first) You keep doing that until you only have one paper left. You glue on that one. Next, you put on details using the colors you used. You stack them (make each one smaller than the first.) That's how you make a mola.

Do you know what a mola is? A mola is part of history. They used to use fabric like velvet, silk, and wool to make them. We are still making molas in art class out of paper. We are almost done with our molas. I think they are easy to make. I think it is fun to make a mola. ...Ashley

Making a Neat Piece of Art
by Paige

In art we are making molas. It is very fun making them. It took about four days to make them. A lot of people had flowers and hearts. Some things that people didn't do a lot were stars and aliens.
