Morris-Jumel – ConEd Family and Community Day: Springtime Seed Mosaics

The 3 sisters planting method was used by the Lenape people in the 1600s in the area around present day Washington Heights. In Indigenous American culture, corn, beans, and squash were planted together, as they nurture each other’s growth similar to sisters in a family. We will use dried versions of corn, beans, and seeds to create our own mosaics. These will be overlaid on pre-cut shapes that are inspired by local nature in the Springtime, like birds, acorns, and leaves.Your mosaic will become your own art piece. We will preserve it with sealer after creating our own patterns. You can wear it as a necklace or hang it in your home.

This program is free and open to the public. All supplies will be provided and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Masks are optional inside the museum.

Mosaicos de semillas de primavera: Una celebración de la naturaleza y homenaje al método de plantación de las 3 hermanas

El método de plantación de las 3 hermanas fue utilizado por el pueblo Lenape en el siglo XVII en el área actual de Washington Heights. En la cultura indígena americana, el maíz, los frijoles y la calabaza se plantaban juntos, ya que se nutrían mutuamente de manera similar a como hermanas en una familia. Usaremos versiones secas de maíz, frijoles y semillas para crear nuestros propios mosaicos. Estos se superpondrán sobre formas precortadas inspiradas en la naturaleza local en primavera, como pájaros, bellotas y hojas. Tu mosaico se convertirá en tu propia obra de arte. Lo conservaremos con sellador después de crear nuestros propios patrones. Puedes usarlo como collar o colgarlo en tu casa.

Este programa es gratis y abierto al público. Todos los suministros se proporcionarán y estarán disponibles por orden de llegada. Las máscaras son opcionales dentro del museo.
