This article describes ones classroom's experience integrating a lesson for fourth grade students that involved creating a new relationship between a fairly modern art medium--colored tissue--and an ancient craft. Yarn painting is one of the more popular art forms of the Huichol, an indigenous people from the western Sierra Madre ranges in Mexico. The Huichol make yarn paintings in the sun by coating a board with beeswax and pressing yarn into the warm wax. The finished pieces were evaluated for design and technique.
