My brother-in-law traveled to Mexico (he is an artist and has been featured in a few museums!!!) and he brought me back an Amate tree bark painting. I was so excited to share this with the students and explain the history of Amate paintings. We watched a video about how the paper is made from bark and then we tore oaktag paper, sponge painted it, and used neon colors to create our own amate artwork! I love how they turned out!
