Introduction

The day of the dead is recognized for its elaborately decorated masks which incorporate colorful designs that are not typically associated with skeletons and skulls in the United States. Rather than turning skulls into something fearful or scary, The Day of the Dead attempts to transform these spooky symbols into works of art that can be valued and remembered.

In this WebQuest, we are going to explore the Mexican Holiday- The Day Of The Dead! Along with the artistic and decorative aspects of the holiday, we are also going to learn about why the Day of the Dead is celebrated, how it is celebrated, and other aspects of the holiday.
