Paper Skeleton Art Project (Day of the Dead)

One of the most popular celebrations in Latin America and Mexico is Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. It is a special day to remember loved ones who are no longer living. The art represented in the Day of the Dead celebrations are vibrant, energetic and colorful. It’s easy to be inspired by this special holiday.

 

This project connects with your science curriculum and the study of the human body. There is no better basis for drawing the human form then to understand our skeleton structure. Children use the enclosed worksheet to identify the bones in the human body and use the drawings to create their own paper skeleton.

 

To add an artistic slant, children add colorful flowers and musical notes from painted or color paper.

 

This project is based on the book The Day of the Dead / El Dia de los Muertos by Bob Barner.
