Elementary Student Artwork > Day of the Dead

6th and 7th grade students scanned, analyzed and interpreted the prints of José Guadalupe Posada. They then planned, created, and completed foam prints inspired by Posada’s artwork for their Dia de Muertoes or Day of the Dead Celebration at their school.
