Dia De Los Muertos!

The kids spent several days working on their Dia De Los Muertos Projects.  After we discussed the holiday tradition and the artwork, they sculpted the skull and after it dried they painted, drew and embellished.  Next we drew patterns and detailed drawings on the mat board and filled it with bright colors using oil pastels.  Lastly, the kids embellished with beads, buttons and sequins.  I adhered the the pieces with caulk and glued on hangers on the back and the kids were ready to take them home and proudly exhibit!
