Guatemalan Huipils


Second Grade students are studying Guatemala in celebration of Hispanic Heritage month. They looked at pictures of traditional clothing worn in Guatemala and recreated the shirt known as the huipil. Both men and women wear these blouse type shirts and almost all of them are covered in interesting brightly colored patterns. Students used construction paper, markers and sequins to create their huipil. They concentrated on the repetition of shapes and colors.
