Amate Bark Painting


Second Grade students learned about Amate Bark Painting. This is a traditional form of painting from Mexico. Students learned how artists used bark to make paper. Students looked at different examples of Amate Bark Paintings and discussed what they saw. Students noticed that many bright colors were used, with white being added as an accent. They also noticed that animals were often the subject matter. Students drew and painted birds and created a border as well.
