Oaxacan Wood Carvings
3
  • Also known as Alebrijes are carved wooden figures
    created by Oaxacan artisans.
  • Most Oaxacan artisans simply call them figuras
    "wooden figures", naming them after the animal
    which they carved, such as the deer, raccoon,
    leopard, etc.

4
  • Once the figure is completely smooth and any
    imperfections have been covered, a coat of color
    paint is applied over it to serve as the base
    coat of color.
  • The decoration depends on the imagination,
    ability and dedication of each artisan.
  • The amount of detail in a figure indicates the
    amount of time the artisan invested in the
    elaboration of that figure.

Huichol Yarn Paintings
9
  • The Huichol are an indigenous ethnic group living
    in western central Mexico.

10
  • They live in the mountains on ranches and they
    live off of the land.

11
  • Their living settlements of stuco/adobe homes
    with thatched roofs are very communal and contain
    family shrines called a xiriki, which is
    dedicated to the ancestors of the rancho.
  • Their religion consists of four principal Gods
    the Trinity of Corn, Blue Deer and Peyote, the
    eagle, and all are descended from the Sun God.

12
  • Huichols have traditionally believed that in
    their rituals they interact with the primal
    ancestor spirits of fire, deer, and other
    elements of the natural world.

13
  • For the Huichol yarn painting is not only an
    aesthetic or commercial art form.
  • The symbols in these paintings spring out of
    Huichol culture and its shamanistic traditions.
  • This art form is made using a mixture of beeswax
    and pine resin on wood into which threads of yarn
    are pressed.

14
Prayer bowls
  • The beaded sculptures created by the Huichol are
    also connected to their shamanistic beliefs.
  • Glass beads are used to sculptures that have been
    coated in resin and bees wax.
