The 7th grade students have discussed the differences between western memorial rituals compared to those of Latin decent. Remembering a loved one or an icon that has passed has been the focus of our unit which explores the use of symbolism and color to represent a person or feelings related to that person. The Claycrete Calavera is the last project within this unit where students will create a skeleton in honor of who they are remembering using flashes of color and detail to capture the symbolism and feelings related to the memory of that person.
