What will you do? Sugar Skull Stone- form clay into ½” thick shape of skull. Design
and incise lines into clay. After firing and priming with white, fill
incised lines with glow-in-the-dark paint.
Dancing sketelon resist – drawing a dancing skeleton using
gesture and contour – then reduce to basic shapes. Fill each
shape with a transition of two colors (crayon) 100% saturation.
Apply black resist over top. Scracth linear sugar skull inspired
lines & patterns through black to reveal bright colors. Mount on
clean paper and creat “glow” effect with pastel.
Sugar Skull cut out; Layering white, black and 4 colors, create
skull then carve through layers of paper to reveal color
underneath in designs inspired by sugar skulls.

How to get started?
Dedicate a Sketch book page (or 2) to solving this artistic
problem
Research: “homemade scratch art paper” AND “carved line
designs in clay” AND “reverse applique process”/”layered
paper cut outs”
Record WHAT each is and HOW you would do it in simple steps
in your sketch book
Find images of: skull (front and profile), sugar skull design,
dancing skeleton
Make a sketch of sugar skull design OR dancing skeleton
based on your research.
