Coco - Day of the Dead - Art Sub Plan

Day of the Dead Art Sub Plan

Did you see “Coco”? Oh my gosh! That was a cute movie! And I cried!

If you have been looking for a lesson or sub lesson to go with Dia de Muertos, here is one by TPT Shop: Cool Classroom Stuff.

 This art activity would be fun to do around a Mexican holiday like Day of the Dead or Cinco de Mayo. If your students have seen the animated movie, “Coco,” they will be familiar with Día de Los Muertos. Great as an art sub lesson; learning center; or activity for early finishers.

This PowerPoint includes:

-Three drawing templates featuring sugar skulls. One has a center guideline; one does not, and one small one has a guideline and fold lines to be utilized as a greeting card.

-Six sample drawings, showing a variety of media. They may be hung in the class as visuals for a lesson or hung in a learning center. 

-One sheet with a composite of these that may be hung in a learning center.

-One sheet of sample designs you might see on sugar skulls.

-Five sheets of information about sugar skulls; directions on how to draw one; and information about symmetry.

-Four bonus sugar skull coloring sheets. May be used for students who need a little help or just for fun.

The designs may be created with pen, crayon or marker.
