Students in Mrs. Therkelsen's Cultural Studies classes get a chance to eat with chopsticks. Students first practiced with marshmallows. Rice was next on the menu. Students also created origami animals and boxes during their unit on Japan. The Huichol created these by pressing yarn into patterns they formed in beeswax.
Designs are historic, religious, and dream oriented and are a form of story telling.
Close up of some of the students' creations. These yarn paintings are displayed on the second floor by the international languages rooms. Last update on Sept. 12, 2001.
