Year 6 Art Mexico Topic- Day of the Dead mask inspired by Frieda Kahlo

Year 6 Art- Inspired by Mexico

Series of 6 Art lessons inspired by the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead. First time uploading resources to TES- long time user but first time author. I have many other resources which could be uploaded if people feel these are a good framework. Final outcome is that children produce a 'mask' influenced by the tradition. Each lesson has a detailed PowerPoint with links to examples and Youtube videos. Resource uses a number of 'Thinking Tools' but these could be removed/amended if not wanted in own setting. Lesson 1: Papel Picado Lesson 2: Sugar Skull Drawing Lesson 3: Portrait inspired by Diego Rivera Lesson 4: Mask inspired by Frieda Kahlo Lesson 5: Creating the mask (will take more than 1 session) Lesson 6: Evaluation lesson Enjoy!
