Aztec Art

       Aztec art played a big part in Aztec culture. Artists made everything from intricate masks to delicate pottery. Masks were used to be presented as tributes to the gods whom the Aztec people worshipped. Designed with color were created by skilled craftsmen to be used in rituals and ceremonies, made to honor and worship divine beings. Aztec Indians also went through a series of steps to mold and create pottery, made by layering strips if clay over and over again. At the end of the  cycle, the strips were shaped into objects such as griddles, storage devices, goblets, and other vessels, as well as decorative statues. After it had hardened, designs and geometric patterns were painted on.
