Day of the Dead Art Project

Second grade used the same technique as the First Grade Skull project, but drew a full skeleton instead of a simple skull. Simple instructions this time...I think it's fairly easy to follow!
1. Use a white oil pastel to draw a skeleton with clothes...chose a man or woman.
2. Use white tempera paint to paint over the "bones".

3. Use tempera paint (mixed with a bit of white) to paint the clothes.
Second Grade Results!

  2. just one...about 40 minutes. Go longer if you like. Perhaps add a background, etc.

  3. I absolutely love these. I might have to try it with my students.

Well, what do you think? I love hearing how you adapted the art projects. Did it work? Any pitfalls? Or, if you'd like, just share your thoughts.
