Dia de los Muertos
For this project, we had to write a three paragraph disposition of ourselves in Spanish. We called it "Mi Profil", it mainly contained our interests and what our lives were like. To go along with this written piece, we created a visual themed as Dia de los Muertos. Mine depicted me as a skeleton playing the piano-one of my favorite things to do. During the process of doing this project, I learned that this holiday is seen as a celebration and is actually very beautiful in the way that the Mexican culture doesn't mourn death the way most people do. Their perception of the deceased is that their spirits come on that day to visit, so they celebrate their coming. The part of this project that I'm most proud of is my drawing because I like the idea of a skeleton symbolizing me. The most difficult part was reading my "Mi Profil" to a camera because it was in Spanish. Overall, this project was educational in learning about the Spanish culture and their history.
