Students are working on creating tinfoil armatures with lightbulb heads. What better way to start their own skeleton sculptures. Day of the Dead is a Mexican celebration of family and ancestors. Families create shrines to those who have died and honor their memories with ceremonies and picnics on the last day of Oct. through Nov. 2nd. Throughout Mexico and the southwest America, we can find skeleton sculptures that celebrate this holiday. Skeletons range from brides and grooms to rock bands, farmers to investment bankers and dancers to drag racers. Whatever you could do in real life, these skeletons do in their own magical worlds. Students are creating poses and making gesture drawings of those action poses, then recreating those positions in sculpture form.
