Mexican Tin Art

We already covered the history of Mexico and its artists when we talked about Frida Kahlo (my personal fav) and Diego Rivera. This time we focused on traditional Mexican craft art that is still popular today like Papel Picado and hammered tin designs. We used tin foil (heavy duty only!) to create shiny ornaments with Mexican designs and I also showed the students how to make cut paper designs similar cut snowflakes that we make in the winter.
