aztec suns...

First grade students learned about the Aztec Calendar and how important the sun was.
We looked at a variety of Aztec artworks and talked about using simple lines and shapes on their own sun.

Students used black paper and construction paper crayons, I love the way those crayons look on dark paper - at least Crayola makes one cool medium that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!! (And they don't dry out!!)

Overall, this project took two art classes, which is about two hours, to complete.
