Our 4th grade students had a chance to try out weaving in a fun and simple way using several colors in their designs. They tapped into their creativity with making their own individual God’s Eye.
A God’s Eye is an object made by weaving a design out of yarn using a wooden cross. This art was practiced by the Huichol and Tepehuan Americans of western Mexico. It is an ancient cultural symbol thought to bring luck to newborns.
