The Aztec people were a certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, and spoke a language called Nahuatl. In their religion, they would make huge festivals and sacrifice humans according to the patterns of the Aztec calendar. They would praise and adore the sun, moon, and the planet, Venus; each of them would have different symbolic and meanings. One of the reasons the Aztec built temples was so that the priest could worship and pray, and make offerings to their gods. Life for the Aztec people was difficult because they had little to eat, and had to go find food. Most of the houses made during that time they made their houses out of mud bricks.

I chose to do my legends project on The Aztec because their religion and culture caught my attention. Well my teacher Chagoyan gave me the idea of doing it, but once I began to search for the art they made I became more interested. I still couldn't understand why they would sacrifice humans to satisfy their god. I chose to put a little bit of everything in my porject like the temple, and paintings they created. My main color is different types of browns because i think it represents its color of skin, and their culture.
