Geometric molas are the most traditional, having developed from ancient body painting designs. Many hours of careful sewing are required to create a fine mola. The ability to make an outstanding mola is a source of status among Kuna women. When Kuna women tire of a particular blouse, they disassemble it and sell the molas to collectors. From www.panart.com

Molas. "We looked at examples of traditional molas featuring plants & animals of Panama. Then, we sketched different rainforest animals (Science connection) that are found in Panama. Students chose their best sketch, drew it on white paper with pencil, & traced with black sharpie. To add patterns, trace around the shape of the animal using various colors of markers. Mount these on black paper, add layers of cut paper shapes around the animal to create patterns.
