During the month of November, students traveled to Ancient Egypt in the art room. Each grade explored a different aspect of egyptian art. Ancient Egyptian art is the painting, sculpture, architecture and other arts produced by the civilization of Ancient Egypt in the lower NileValley from about 5000 BCE to 300 AD. Ancient Egyptian art reached a high level in painting and sculpture, and was both highly stylized and symbolic. Much of the surviving art comes from tombs and monuments and thus there is an emphasis on life after death and the preservation of knowledge of the past.

Happy Dia De Los Muertos
Day of the Dead is an interesting holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the chilly days of November 1 & 2. The Olmec people, Mexico's first complex society, emerged in the southeastern part of the country around 1200 B.C. They were later followed by the Maya, the Toltec, and the Aztec peoples. Today in Mexico children and families still carry on the
 ancient beliefs of honoring 
their deceased loved ones on this special day. During this holday they have a large celebration and artists create sugar skulls. Sugar skulls are extremely detailed works of art made from real sugar! They usually tell a story about someone in the artists family and the designs are balanced on both sides. I hope you enjoy our symmetrical Mexican Folk Art!
