5th Grade Amate Bark Paintings
The 5th Grade students studied Mexican Folk ART and created some amazing Amate Bark Paintings!
Day 1 looked at video on Amate Bark Paintings and looked at different examples. Starting drawing had to have animal/bird. I had different examples for them to look at. I had them sponge paint browns/tans ontop of cardboard to give bark like effect.
Day 2 Students drew their sketch ontop of their cardboard and traced with sharpie.
I love these! Could you please post your lesson plan?
