James Burgett, El Festival Del Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead Festival) at LASC 2011 Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) With its origins based in ancient Mesoamerican culture and Catholicism, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time of joyous celebration when the souls of past loved ones are remembered. Through the creation of an ofrenda or altar, the departed are enticed to return to earth for one day each year. On November 1 st, known as the Night of the Angels, the souls of children are welcomed back. The following day of November 2 nd, All Souls Day, all others spirits are encouraged to visit Earth again. This is accomplished through the construction of an ofrenda or altar that presents earthly favorites of food, drink, and cherished objects to the souls of the departed. This year s project involves your students creating a 2D group ofrenda banner for a famous historical figure. You will be able to integrate research, writing, history and culture through your participation in this community art project and introduce this colorful Mexican celebration through cross disciplinary studies. The following is a lose guide on how to integrate this community art project into your classroom. Please adjust it to fit the grade you teach and/or your students needs.

Sugar Skull Marigold Select a historical figure to honor After you have introduced your students to the colorful history and celebration practices of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), students collectively should decide on a historical figure that they would like to honor with the creation of their ofrenda banner.

18 The following is just one approach to creating a classroom ofrenda banner for display during the LASC s Festival Del Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead Festival) on Friday, November 1 st from 5:00 9:00pm at the Living Arts and Science Center. Please adjust to fit the grade you teaching and to meet your students needs. Items needed to create an ofrenda banner: 1. Banner material. Banner material can be obtained from the LASC by contacting Gallery Director Jeffrey Nichols by at jnichols@lasclex.org or by phone at (859) Pencils 3. Scissors 4. Erasers 5. Black Sharpies 6. Paint brushes 7. Acrylic paints in a variety of colors 8. Strong Stick DAP Adhesive A 5 oz tube costs about $4.00. After your students have selected a historical figure and completed their research, start a list of possible imagery that could be used to represent that individual in an ofrenda. See the example list below for an ofrenda dedicated to Abraham Lincoln. Possible ofrenda imagery for Abraham Lincoln 1. Stovepipe hat 2. State of Illinois 3. State of Kentucky 4. Log cabin 5. Mary Todd 6. Union Solder 7. Copy of the Emancipation Proclamation 8. Penny 9. Beard 10. Frederick Douglass 11. Ax 12. Writings of Lincoln Traditional Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) imagery to incorporate in the Lincoln ofrenda 1. Marigolds 2. Papel picado 3. Calaca or whimsical skeleton of Lincoln
19 4. Monarch Butterflies 5. Pan de muertos or bread of the dead 6. Sugar skulls 7. Calaveras or skulls Now assign individual students and/or groups to create the different components needed to produce the ofrenda. One group will need to make the main altar or base for which all the ofrenda pieces will be glued upon. You will use the largest piece of banner material provided (36 x 27 ) to create the altar base. This can be done in perspective or not. Allow students to interpret the best way to depict their altar base. The example below shows a two tiered altar in one point perspective. That means all the vanishing lines converge at one point. Have students paint the altar with colors that they choose. Example of one point perspective
20 Example: Altar base in one point perspective with black sharpie outline for Abraham Lincoln ofrenda. The smaller pieces that you received can be used to create all the different imagery that will comprise the classroom ofrenda. Students will first sketch on the smaller banner pieces the imagery they are trying to create using pencils and erasers. After their drawings are completed, they can use a black sharpie to outline their image. Example: Imagery component with black sharpie outline (Abraham Lincoln s stovepipe hat)
21 Use acrylic paints to finish creating the imagery on the vinyl material. After pieces have dried, students can use scissors to cut off the extra banner material. Example: Painted and trimmed component for Abraham Lincoln ofrenda (stove pipe hat) Example: Components for Abraham Lincoln ofrenda, both traditional Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) imagery (papel picado, monarch butterfly, sugar skull, marigold) and items that would represent Abraham Lincoln (ax, log cabin, state of Illinois and Kentucky).
22 Example: Abraham Lincoln as a calaca or whimsical skeleton
23 Example: Finished Abraham Lincoln vinyl ofrenda banner I would recommend using Strong Stik DAP instant grab adhesive to attach your students imagery to the ofrenda base. It cleans up with water and is VOC compliant. You can purchase a 5 oz tube at Home Depot for about $4.00. One tube should be adequate for this project. Follow
24 the directions on tube for best results and assist students if needed. It s important to allow the adhesive to dry 24 hours before moving the ofrenda. This will make sure that the smaller pieces are fully adhered to the altar base. The LASC will install grommets to display your students banner during our festival. Thank you for participating this year s community art project. If you have any question please feel free to contact Gallery Director Jeffrey Nichols by at jnichols@lasclex.org or by phone at (859) Thank You for participating!
