These happy looking faces are the result of our 4th grade Dia de los Muertos project. We discussed Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, and its significance in Latin American countries. We also looked at some examples of Mexican tin art. I even had a few students who observe it as a holiday.
The kids embossed an outline of a skull onto pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil, and then decorated the skulls and the negative space around them.
After they had finished working the metal, I hot glued the skulls to frames and they decorated the frames with the same designs they had used on the metal.
Scary, huh?
