We have been learning about the customs involved with the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos and were very lucky to have the wonderful Lindsey Anderson from The Walters Art Museum come to Harlem Park to run a series of sugar skull workshops with kindergarten, and fourth grade students. Lindsey discussed the holiday with students, showing images of decorations associated with Dia de los Muertos. Kindergarten students used authentic sugar skull molds to form their skulls and then added gems and feathers as embellishment. Fourth grade students sculpted their skulls from model magic and used paint markers to add details and pattern to their artworks.
