The next stop for 5th grade Mesoamerica ancient tour is the Aztec culture. We looked at Aztec calendar and talked about the meaning and design of the giant carving.
The students created their own Aztec circles. They had to design the center to be something personal to them. They then created designs around the center that were in the style of the Aztec people.
After they finished designing, they had to transfer their design onto a piece of Styrofoam. We then inked and printed the circles using different color ink and paper.
The kids made 8 prints off of their master plate. They chose 3-5 prints to mount and display.
