War and Conflict Silhouette











Students will consider the representation of conflict in visual art and create their own representations of opposition and conflict using the medium of the silhouette to describe and represent ideas including its history as an art form.

Papel Picado






Papel Picado is a decorative craft made out of paper cut into elaborate designs. The students will choose a traditional Mexican pattern that they will use to make their own. Once completed, we will string picados together and hang from the classroom ceiling- festive!
