Day of the Dead Skeletons– 2nd grade

A child's depiction of a white, skeleton-like figure with colorful spots floating in a dark, starry background, reminiscent of Day of the Dead festivities.
2nd graders learned about Day of the Dead by reading the book Pablo Remembers. 
They looked at diagrams of skeletons and drew them with pencil on black paper. Next, they used white paint to paint the skeleton. They added flowers with other colors of bright tempera paint.
