Over the past several weeks, fourth grade students have been working very hard to create alebrije inspired sculptures. Alebrijes are brightly colored folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. Alebrijes are a traditional from of art found in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Using the Oaxacan tradition as inspiration 4th grade students...
1.Used foil and tape to create the form of animal. This is called the armature, or skeleton of a sculpture.
2.Students then used plaster to create a smooth and strong surface.
3. Students painted the skin one tertiary color. Tertiary colors are a primary color plus a secondary color.
4.Lastly, using lines, shapes, and colors, students painted the fine details.
