In this project, we were supposed to create a sugar skull and a mask to represent someone who has passed away and that we loved for the holiday in many Spanish speaking countries, The Day of the Dead, or Día de los muertos. The skull and mask was supposed to represent the passed loved one with colors and symbols. Along with these, we needed to write a brief eulogy of this person and present it.

Día de los Muertos, day of the dead, has really opened my mind up. Not just by learning about the celebration of the person that is close to you passing away but wanting to be apart of the culture. The culture of this holiday is everything. The atmosphere, the environment, the costumes and the activities. Everything Día de los Muertos is astonishing. Even down to the facial art that is done to honor others. Learning about Día de los Muertos makes me want to celebrate my passed away loved ones as well. I don’t have many loved ones who passed away but now on, I’ll try to make día de los muertos apart of my families tradition.
Now about my sugar skull and mask. Since my sixteen years of living, I have never had a human being that I loved one past away, but I had my family dog, Howard, pass away last year during the school year. I was devastated. Hearing the news coming home from school, broke my heart, even more hurtful seeing my younger sister mourn over him. Howard died from a deadly disease that only affects dogs and wasn’t curable. It wasn’t as devastating as a human but devastating none the less. Our family dog ment the world to me. We had him since he was a tiny puppy. He was a bundle of joy. He was just like a little adolescent, keeping you up at night, always wanting to play and always starving for amusement. He was a pest but he was our pest, he kept us happy, he kept us active and he kept us content. Howard was our happiness. Howard was so cheerful, he looked at life in the best way possible. Howard looked at life with his eyes wide open, looking around every corner finding happiness. Seeing the good in everyone. Howard would greet everyone with open paws and a big, wet lick on the cheek.
Knowing that dogs can only see colors of yellow, blue and gray, I modeled my sugar skull to show off these bright colors so my little puppy could enjoy it in the afterlife. Almost 70-80% of my sugar skull is blue, the eyes yellow; with hints of red, green, orange lined around the skull and silver glitter. Hopefully, he can enjoy the sugar skull in peace. Knowing about the dogs eyesight, I modeled my skull around that. If it wasn’t modeled around his eyesight, he would just view the skull as black and white. I wanted to make this día de los muertos sugar skull modeled around Howard, and him enjoying everything that día de los muertos has to give. I wanted to make the experience for him as enjoyable as possible; just how he made my life enjoyable with him still around with us. That is how I modeled my sugar skull in remembrance of my dog, Howard.

Jade's ser y estar
We had to make a power point about the verb "ser" and "estar" in our on words.
Ser y Estar Proyecto
My ser y estar project gives a breakdown of how to use the two verbs. It makes it simpler to understand if people can't fully comprehend. (Click on the thumbnail to view.)
