The Art of Aztec Mythology

Description

The Aztec culture flourished in Mexico in the 13th through the 15th centuries.  Their art and myths have continued to fascinate people ever since.  We'll take a look at Xolo: How One Good Dog Saved Mankind--a recent work of illustrated fiction and at Aztec art from long ago.  Xolo is a nickname for Xolotl--an Aztec mythological deity with the body of a human and the head of a dog.  Xolotl was the god of lightning, death, and misfortune.  Then we'll create our own illustrations of these dynamic beings.
