Dia de los Muertos + Portraiture

Grade 4
Dia de los Muertos
A celebration of life on Nov 1 and 2.
We will be creating our own Sugar Skulls, a symbol of Day of the Dead, in Latino traditions.
A great video: Dia de los Muertos
Many of you have experience 'The Book of Life' and it talks about this tradition in Hispanic culture.

Each fourth grade may be doing a bit of a different process for their sugar skulls creation....
But first.. we draw!

Portraits!
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person.
