Description
In this lesson, students will learn about the tradition of arpilleras, a style of fabric art that originated in Latin America as a form of protest and storytelling. They'll learn about the history and significance of these beautiful works of art, and then create their own arpilleras using fabric scraps, thread, and other materials.
Here are four ways you can incorporate this lesson into your elementary classroom:
- History lesson: Use the arpilleras lesson as an opportunity to teach your students about the history of Latin America, including topics such as colonization, the fight for independence, and the struggles faced by indigenous peoples and marginalized communities.
- Language arts: Have your students write short stories or essays inspired by their arpilleras, exploring themes such as social justice, community, and identity.
- Social studies: Connect the arpilleras lesson to current events by discussing issues such as immigration, climate change, and political activism in Latin America and beyond.
- Math and geometry: Use the lesson to explore shapes, patterns, and symmetry, as students create their arpilleras using geometric shapes and repeating patterns.
This art lesson is a wonderful way to engage your students in Hispanic Heritage Month and to encourage them to explore new cultures and traditions through art.

Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
