We are students at Plymouth College Of Art and for our Curative Studies module we are looking at the Day Of The Dead as an influence for a peice of artwork for Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery.

Children's exhibition actvitiy sheets etc - the guinea pigs!
These are the first 3 activity sheets I made, taking into considering the group's discussions and ideas. I will also make a kids factsheet to accompany the other sheets. Also think it would be a good idea, as discussed, to produce a kind of "treasure hunt" activity sheet i.e. clues to lead the children to different parts of the museum and find various objects. This could be discussed at a later date when we've established what to exhibit and what pieces we could relate to our exhibition which are already in the musuem and gallery.
If theres anything you think could be changed or added, let me know (including any spelling mistakes!)
I decided to use my family as guinea pigs and gave them the mask sheets to have a go.
My daughter Kayls (8), tried out the activity sheet - she struggled a bit with the wordsearch but thought the dot to dot and maze was quite easy. She did add that it wasn't girlie enough!!! Think this may be better on the back of one of the mask sheets or fact sheet instead of being an individual page.
Here are some photos of my troups colouring in the masks and the resulting images:
Tyler (2) Kayls (8)
Char (15) Sumz (12) Andrew (32)
Everyone seems to enjoy decorating/colouring the masks and some took more time over their masks than others (Andrew!)
I think this would be a very successful activity for visitors at the exhibition - young and old!
