Washington Estonian School Student Art Exhibit 2011-2012
Theme: Estonian national costumes
Art teachers; Pille Anvelt and Liisi Fidler
The tradition of national costumes goes back for many generations. The costumes were all hand made at home from wool or cotton fabric. The clothing was natural -- cotton was white, wool was white, brown, or black lamb wool. To get other colors, the fabrics were dyed with natural plant colors.
Washington Estonian School children depict colorful traditional national costumes that originate in different regions of Estonia.
The children have added their personal design touches to the national costumes in their drawings, just like in the old days outside design trends influenced forefather's fabrics. |
