Descriptive Text as seen on the back of Learning to Weave/Aprendiendo
a Tejer:
Within traditional societies,
children often learn arts within the family setting. As they
sit together and use a narrow loom, the younger girl can ask
help from her sister. The ribbons,with their colorful patterns,
are worn by the women and girls of their community as a decoration
in their hair.
En
las comunidades tradicionales con frecuencia los niños
son instruidos en las artes por otros miembros de la familia.
Cuando las hermanas se sientan juntas a trabajar, la más
joven puede pedir ayuda de su hermana major. Las cintas con
patrones muy coloridos que las niñas tejan son utilizadas
por las mujeres de la comunidad para adornar sus cabellos.
