Sun Gallery

I was fortunate enough to go on Josh's field trip
to Sun Gallery this morning. The gallery has a
Day of the Dead display going right now. The
featured artist's last name is Camacho. This little
girl shared her interpretation of the painting with us.
It was so incredibly cute.

Day of the Dead is celebrated in the Mexican culture
on November 2nd. It's a time to celebrate the life
of loved ones who have past to the other side.

After discussing the art, the kids got to go the
art lab to make colorful day of the dead skulls
of their own.

Afterwords, the kids looked at all the art and
discussed what they enjoyed about their friends
work.

It was nice to go a field trip to somewhere I hadn't
been before. I was pleasantly surprised by what a
nice place it is.
