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!
Picture
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.

Kindergarten and 1st grade students are learning about and making paper picados, a Mexican folk art! 
Picture
    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.

Lancashire 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.

2nd and 3rd Grade Students created monochromatic self portraits inspired by Pablo Picasso's rose and blue periods. 

Pablo Picasso is a Spanish painter, sculptor,and printmaker, who spent most of his adult life in France. He is known as one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century.

During a sad time in his life Picasso began painting everything in cool blue tones. Later, when he fell in love he began painting everything in warm red tones.
