Inspired Amante Bark Painting Designs

 Inspired Amate Bark Paintings



We are getting ready for our annul Cinco De Mayo festival.  Students have been learning about Latin American culture and Mexican Folk Art. 


Following Denise Logan's Amate Bark Painting lesson, 2nd grade students did a fantastic job creating their very own colorful Amate paintings.

Students first draw lightly on brown craft paper their Amate design. Next students outline all pencil lines with bright pastel - this helps them paint in the lines.  Then they paint all shapes using tinted tempera. Once paintings are dry, students outline design with pastel to find lost lines and details. Last carefully "baby rip" the edges of the brown paper.
