Feliz Dia De Los Muertos from the Freeport Middle School Art Department and Mrs. Matias' Spanish class! This collaboration involves the art students studying the art of Dia De Los Muertos to create an offrenda with calacas and calaveras paintings. The Spanish class studied Hispanic heroes, a painter, writer, and an artist to write biographies. Each year during the Dia De Los Muertos celebration, families create an offrenda to celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed and welcome them to visit during the celebration.
