Every year, I do an art unit with my class called The Art of Animation. During the unit, we study the various animation studios and create a piece of art based on the different forms of animation. This year, as a class reward, the students won a movie prize. We chose to watch The Story of Life. I loved the characters and the "Day of the Dead" theme in the movie!
After watching the movie, I thought it would be fun to draw our own skulls, paint them in watercolour and then fill them with doodles!
Here is the skull drawn and painted with watercolour:
And here it is after I added the doodles to turn it into a "sugar skull" based on the Day of the Dead.
I can't wait to do this project with my class to see how theirs turn out!
Happy painting!
