In this lesson we're covering bark paintings, ceramics, Oaxacan wood carvings, Day of the Dead (dia de las muertes), serapes and huichol yarn painting. The production is a bit daunting for younger children. The adults testing this out were a bit tested as we attempted to make sharp corners out of yarn. We're opting to purchase wikistiks or Bendaroos for the younger ones to allow them to have more success.
The goal is to teach them about warm and cool colors as well as the entire Mexican folk art culture and traditions. We don't need them melting down over glue on their fingers and yarn that won't stay put.
