For the fourth graders El Dia de los Muertos project, we created calaveras using cut paper collages. We first drew and cut out the shapes for the skeletons and then they had two art days to add any patterns, clothing, hair, etc by cutting out shapes from paper OR by drawing with crayons.
I love all of the little personalities that show through on each one. A few students even made theirs in honor of someone that they knew that passed away, like they learned about the holiday. It was so sweet and special when they shared that with me, I near teared up every time. I love it when they put so much thought and love into their art work!
