Students will engage in an immersive launch experience to build empathy and cultural understanding of Huichol (Wixárika) art traditions, gather insights from media and peer dialogue, and document initial user-centered observations that will inform their yarn landscape designs.

Students will synthesize their research on Huichol symbolism and audience perspectives into a clear design challenge that guides their yarn landscape and installation work, using empathy tools, collaborative discussion, and a defined problem statement.

Students will generate and refine diverse design ideas for their Huichol-inspired yarn landscapes and 3D installation sections by applying cultural research, brainstorming multiple visual concepts, gathering peer feedback, and selecting a concept to prototype based on user experience and cultural authenticity.

Students will construct and refine prototype versions of their Huichol-inspired yarn landscapes and 3D installation sections, applying researched symbolism and design plans. Through structured peer feedback, a Feedback Wall, and documented revisions, students will iterate on their work to improve cultural accuracy, craftsmanship, and viewer experience before final exhibition testing.

Students will finalize and present their Huichol-inspired yarn landscapes and 3D installation to authentic visitors, gather user feedback, reflect on cultural learning, and demonstrate mastery through an interactive exhibition.
