Mayan Headdress: A Cultural lesson

  As I try to strive in the classroom, everyone comes from different backgrounds, which makes everyone very unique and special! It's important to incorporate this through learning. In your history class right now, you're talking about the Mayan Civilization, so I thought we could incorporate what you're learning in there, with art. In this project, we're going  to take your profile and draw it on a big sheet of paper. Once you have accomplished that, we're going to to draw colorful Mayan Headdresses on each of them. The objective of this blog, is to give you some examples of different types of Mayan Headdresses.





 As you can see through these awesome examples, Mayan headdresses are really just made out of different shapes and lots of different colors! So, use your imagination and create your own headdress!

  1. I am making a painting and need info on this headdress, as of what could be the material forming the tall thing in which the horns are attached. Would be great if you can help. Thanks :)
