To celebrate, we are going to create our own Mexican inspired folk sun! I love Mexican art, it’s full of bright colors and fun images! Take a look at some below.
Kindergarten, First, and Second Grades
You may use an uncoated round paper plate for this project, but it’s
okay if you don’t have one. Find something round you can trace to make
a circle on a piece of paper.
1. Using a pencil, trace a nice big circle on your paper. Try to take up
the whole paper. Or if you have a paper plate you can use that as
your circle.
2. Draw a line right down the middle of your circle! You can give it a
little bit of a curve if you would like.
3. Pick what side you want to be the sun and what side you want to
be the moon; it’s up to you!
4. Give the sun one football shaped eye, half a nose, and half a smile.
Next, do the same for the moon side.
5. Give your sun and moon some cool patterns. I used long lines like
fire for the sun, and smooth curvy shapes for the moon.
6. Have fun and color your picture. Use warm colors for the sun
(red, orange, and yellow) and cool colors for the moon (green,
blue, and purple).
7. When you are finished, take a picture of your artwork and send it
to john.duckworth@polk-fl.net, Don’t forget to include your name
along with your classroom teacher’s name.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grades!
If you have paints, please use them for this project! It’s okay if you don’t have paints. Crayons, colored pencils or markers work great!
1. With a pencil, trace a nice big circle on a piece of paper. Try to
take up the whole paper.
2. Draw a line right down the middle of your circle! You can give it a
little bit of a curve if you would like.
3. Pick what side you want to be the sun and what side you want to
be the moon; it’s up to you!
4. Give your sun one football shaped eye, half a nose and half a
smile. Next, do the same for the moon side (remember the Picasso
self-portrait 4th grade). You may keep the moon’s eye closed if you
would like. This would represent the moon sleeping or nighttime.
5. Think about your texture and design. What type of design should
your sun have, and how is it different than the moon? Make sure
to extend your design all the way to the edges of the paper.
6. Finally, color or paint it! Take your time, use bright colors, and
don’t forget about your warm/cool colors.
7. When you are finished, take a picture of your artwork and send it
to john.duckworth@polk-fl.net, Don’t forget to include your name
along with your classroom teacher’s name.
