Art Workshops
Casa Artelexia, in collaboration with Pachis, will be offering a series of art workshops for children focused on the art, craft and traditions of Mexico.
Sample Workshop: Children will learn to make a “Catrina” through wires and found materials. This legendary character, “La Catrina”, was created in 1913 by Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. The image has since become a staple of Mexican imagery, and often is incorporated into artistic manifestations of the Day of the Dead in November, such as altars and calavera costumes. The etching was part of his series of calaveras, which were humorous images of contemporary figures depicted as skeletons, which often were accompanied by a poem.
The word catrina is the feminine form of the word catrín, which means "elegant". “La Catrina” represents high society women in Mexico during the administration of Porfirio Diaz.
