4th and 5th grade students will be learning about the history and celebrations of Dia de los Muertos. In honor of the holiday we will be creating clay "model magic" sugar skulls sculptures!
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.
Our sugar skulls are made out of clay instead of sugar and highlight our understanding of form and balance within a 3-dimensional work of art.
