During our Dia de los Muertos unit, third graders studied the work of local artist (and former Rock Canyon painting teacher) Daniel Gonzales. Below is a time-lapse video of Daniel Gonzales painting a mural with a Dia de los Muertos theme over the course of three days. This mural was part of an art festival in Littleton called the "Imagined Wall Festival." Local artists were chosen to paint a mural on a wall downtown Littleton in order to beautify the area. Daniels actual mural is on the outside wall of Rienke Brothers costume shop in Littleton. You can see the actual mural by driving down Main Street in Littleton.

Dia de los Muertos Cultural Workshop
Museo de las Americas Presents our
Dia de los Muertos
Cultural Arts Workshop
During this hour long
workshop, students will embark on a cultural journey to discover the
meaning and mysteries embedded in this ancient celebration.
Students will explore a
traditional Altar and decorate their own sugar skull to honor their
ancestors as an act of remembrance. Our workshop will supplement any
lesson since it not only aligns with academic Social Studies Standards
but also Visual Arts Standards.
This workshop is ONLY
$5.00 per student and can be implemented in English or Spanish. Museo
can come to your school (off-site fee will apply) or you can bring your
students to the Museo and include an Exhibit Tour to create a full
cultural experience.
This workshop is only offered during October and Early November, book soon!
