Instructions

디자인을 선택하고 만드십시오. (Choose a design and create it)
Have a chat with everyone about what Obangsaek is.
Obangsaek is a type of traditional artwork using the five traditional colours of the Korean spectrum, which are white, black, blue, yellow and red. You can find out what these colours mean below.
Ask everyone to think about what the colours and the elements mean to them.
Ask everyone to then choose a design they’d like to create on their paper, taking inspiration from each colour and element. For example, they might choose a tree for blue or flames for red.
Once everyone has decided on their design, they should draw these out on their paper.
Everyone should then choose what art/craft items they would like to use. They can lay them out on the paper, and stick them down with the glue.
You could also think about using natural materials for the pictures, such as leaves, shells or sticks.
When everyone is finished, place the pictures somewhere in the meeting place to dry.
This could be on another table, on a windowsill or even outside if it’s sunny and dry.
Ask everyone to help clean up the craft materials. Once everything is tidy, everyone should have the opportunity to share their design with the group.


Each colour relates to a different direction:

Blue is east.
Red is south.
Yellow is centre
White is west
Black is north
The colours also link to the Five Elements of traditional Korean culture.

Blue is wood
Red is fire
Yellow is earth
White is metal
Black is water
