I have always been intrigued by the decorated skulls of the Day of the Dead celebrations – taking a skull and turning it into something beautiful. With Halloween approaching, I thought it a perfect excuse to do some of my own.
I was just going to do one, but had such fun, I kept going. If you want to have a go, print this skull shape out.
This one was decorated with crayons …
This is a fun way of decorating shapes, it is called Zentangling and it is a great art technique for older children to have fun with …
One more technique, this time watercolour pencils …
