Spanish Heritage/Día de los Muertos Unit
Art
Having studied the origins of colors and their different groups with the units of the caveman, with the Hispanic Heritage /Day of the Dead we have studied how colors can represent feelings and how to apply the different groups of colors in our artworks for Día de los Muertos. Now for Thanksgiving we use what we learned about colors, light/darkness and the different ways to use oil pastel, and created a 3D pumpkin.
