Solar Eclipse Paintings

Students created a Solar Eclipse inspired painting in the style of Amate Mexican Bark paintings and Huichol Mexican yarn paintings. Each student wrote a short poem to accompany their work. They chose to write their poems as either a Haiku, Cinquain, Limerick or Free Style poem. Once the paintings were finished and hung on the wall, students participated in the evaluation process that gave them a chance to show how well they could use art vocabulary to make a statement.
