Unit Overview: Students examined traditional sugar skulls from the holiday Day of the Dead in order to study the meaning, symbology, and traditions behind sugar skull design. Students then created a sugar skull of their own design incorporating family history, heirlooms, and personal story.
Students studied the holiday Day of the Dead in order to understand the meaning and symbology of the holiday. Students compared this holiday to other holidays that celebrate common themes such as death, spirits, and family. Ultimately, the purpose in this project was for students to create a sugar skull of remembrance. The skulls would reflect the character, traits, and personality of either a deceased family member or the student themselves. This project was used for Art to Remember.
