In this pre-recorded lesson, Michoacan Artist Leonel Nery demonstrates the art of making La Calavera Catrina. “The elegant skull,” known as La Catrina, has become a festive symbol for the Dia de los Muertos, although it has much deeper meanings.
You will also hear from WBLAS Latino Cultural Liaison Briana Santoscoy on the history and cultural importance of El Dia de los Muertos.
