| Aztec Mural Project Reflection: AC |
 In this project, a group and I had to create a mural about the Aztecs. We needed to learn about Aztec culture and the importance of murals in the Latin culture. The mural was based on a topic of the Aztecs such as clothing, social classes, education, food, marriage, sacrifices, and Gods. Our group chose to make our mural based on Gods.
I learned more about the Aztecs especially the Gods. I learned that there were many different Gods with long (and hard to pronounce) names. The Aztecs were very religious and would sacrifice their self for a God. The Aztecs believed that there was a God for something, such as there was a God of the sun, and there was a God of the earth. I also learned that the Aztecs sacraficed themselves because they believed that the Gods needed "precious water"--which was blood from animals and humans.
I liked this project because we got to paint. It was pretty fun but kind of hard to keep everybody in the group focused. I guess that you shouldn't be lazy in projects because you wouldn't know if you have the time to finish later. Next time, I would try to get everybody focused and doing something so that the group would finish it in time, instead of having to finish at mornings and such. I think that I should've spent more time on the story of the mural, because the mural doesn't really show a story, it's just a painting. In conclusion, this project taught me many things about the Aztecs in a fun way. |
