The K/1s recently began their spring study of Mexico and learned about Mexican Amate paintings in art class. The paintings are done with bright colors on bark. They usually depict flowers, birds, deer, rabbits and everyday stories from the community such as fishing, hunting and harvesting. The K/1s used brown paper to simulate the bark and painted their flora and fauna in bright tempera colors.
