Our third grade class has been reading legends, stories, and folktales from various cultures around the world, and just recently concluded their exploration of the Aztec Gods. Students read the tale of the 5 apocalypses and learned about the various Gods participating in the stories. Then, after seeing examples of mosaic Aztec Masks, students selected a character, god or creature, from the story to depict in mask form. Students used paper and glue to re-create the beautiful mosaic texture often seen in Aztec art.
