Day of the Dead Skulls




I absolutely love they way these are turning out!  We learned about the history of the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), a holiday that is celebrated in Mexico.  Then, we compared Day of the Dead skulls with Paul Cezanne's painting, The Three Skulls and discussed which one the students preferred.  We held a debate during class and it was so interesting to hear what the students had to say!
