Art inspired by Mexican crafts

We had fun making our Mexican crafts. We used paper plates to make the base. To make the patterns for our mirrorsĀ  we had to draw the pattern in pencilĀ first then colour it in with oil pastels but we had to make sure not to leave any white showing. After we had finished colouring our plates we stuck silver paper in the middle of our plate to make the mirror. To make it look fancy we stuck sequins on our mirrors then we had finished our mirrors.

Mrs. Finnie has asked us to find pictures of Mexican crafts like this to inspire us in our art next week. What patterns have you found in the crafts?
