3rd Grade Oaxacan Animals




The 3rd graders have been stellar art students while learning about Oaxacan (pronounced wa-ha-can) animals. The Oaxacan people who live in Oaxaca, Mexica have been making these colorful creatures for generations. Traditionally the animals are carved out of wood and then painted. In art class, we made them out of clay and then glazed them. The bright colors we used were inspired by Mexican life, nature and traditions! We loved seeing all the bright colors they use!
