Wood Painting

The week of Explore Morocco exposed me and the students to all sorts of traditional crafts from around Morocco. These traditional wood paintings are common in the area of Fez. Artisans paint on cedar wood in intricate detail.

I got a carved piece of wood from the artisans (as did all the kids) and painted it. I was very focused on staying within the lines!
