*You may type directly in this document and copy and paste into blog, or simply address each of the following in a post. It should be approx. 2 pages worth of writing.
PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.

The purpose of this project was to learn about the Aztec culture and their religion. We also learned about the Aztecs way of life and about how they live without the machinery we have today. In order to learn about murals, we had to create a painting of a mural that represented our topic which was eclipse. We also had to write a artist statement about our mural and include the Aztec culture.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.

I learned about the Aztecs and many different topics of what Aztecs did to live learn and develop through their culture. I learned about the social classes of the Aztecs from the lowest being peasants/slaves to the highest which is the ruler and his king. I explored the concept of an eclipse which is when the moon is over the sun. In this project, I learned how to make a painting of a mural and how to make different colors of paint to paint your mural.

REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?

I enjoyed this project because it gave me a chance to do an active activity and paint something. I thought any other project such as the mad lib for example was all typing and not being active. I feel like I could have done better on this project because to my group I didn’t stick up to my full potential but in my mind I think they did just as good as me and the confidence in my work is going down because of the potential they wanted me to go to. I agree that some people have different personalities but I disagree on people who think they are better than other people or who think they have done more than many people in my group. Next time, I would like to of let my group know that I am better than they think I am and that I won’t care what their opinion is, it is just what I feel and if I feel I did a fantastic job to half the people in my groups mind and my mind then I think that I have done a great job in my group. (Trying to give personal feelings...)

ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?

Mural, artist statement, and notes on how Aztecs live through their lives and the culture they bring
