Paper Craft

 

We learned about the Day of the Dead and its traditions and culture significance. We created Papel Picados. This is hung during the Day of the Dead to celebrate the lives of those who passed. We learned what each color represents. Then we created our banner. First, we practiced drawing our designs on paper once we finished we learned how to fold our tissue paper into six parts with five creases. On each crease we drew our design but only half because when you open the crease it will be a mirror on the other side. 

An extension I would do would connect to social studies. Student would learn about customs and celebrations from around the world and create and art piece on one of them that they would share with the class.
