Best project ever. Do you ever have those moments when students are working and they are not even talking to each other because they are so focused? Here is one of those moments! Fifth graders artists viewed and discussed characteristics of Mexican Folk Art. Students then began a sketch that had an animal or sun or moon (they could pretty much draw anything as long as they could show me how it worked in their sketch). They then added repeating patterns and line designs in "waves" or "energy lines" around their work. We then used metal sheets (silver on one side, copper on the other) and some wooden stylus tools to create their work. They loved this project and everyone turned out amazing and unique!
