Dia de los Muertos is a 3,500 year old celebration that dates back to the ancient Aztecs. It's also known as the day of the dead. Every November 1st and 2nd the people of Mexico honor their lost loved ones. Sugar Skulls have been a large part of Dia de los Muertos since 17th century.

Kindergarten and 1st grade students are learning about and making paper picados, a Mexican folk art! Papel picado ("perforated paper", "pecked paper") is a decorative craft made out of paper cut into beautiful and elaborate designs. It is considered a Mexican folk art. The designs are commonly cut from coloured tissue paper using a guide or template and small chisels, creating as many as forty banners at a time. Papel picado can also be made by folding tissue paper and using small, sharp scissors. Common themes include birds, floral designs, and skeletons.
Student GalleryLancashire students are kicking off the school year creating fabulous pictures of themselves. When artists draw, paint, photograph, or sculpt an image of themselves it is called a self-portrait. A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist.
