Sun & Moon Folk Art

The Sun and Moon are symbolic figures commonly seen in many different kinds of Mexican Folk Art. The sun is a symbol of energy, life, empowerment, light, warmth, knowledge, and wisdom. The Moon is the counterpart that balances the sun. She represents cooling, calming, instinct, reflection, mystery, emotion, and the dream world. We celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month by creating our own Sun and Moon Folk Art with line and shape, patterns and designs, using warm and cold colors.
