Although the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos and its celebrations look very similar to Halloween, there are actually many differences between the two holidays. Third grade art students have been learning about Dia de los Muertos and about all of the amazing art that surrounds it. They looked at artwork such as calacas, paper flowers and calaveras.
After seeing all of the bold, colorful Mexican crafts, they were excited to get started on their own Dia de los Muertos artwork!
