Art 

         During the time of the Aztecs, they had a lot of art depicting their culture and their life. In their art, they would use insects, birds, fish, and animals. They also used many of their gods in their art. They would often show gods, or priests dressed as gods in a ritual, or Aztec warriors in their finery. Stories were written in pictures which also gave art an opportunity. The pictures may show the latest conquest, their daily lives, or the sacrifices of the priests. Art was made out of gold, feathers, silver, copper, coral, clay, jewels, and stone. Mosaics were also commonly used in Aztec art. Ancient Aztec art looks very lifelike.  Many of their statues of people, as well as animals, looked amazingly realistic.  They also show age, and a great deal of expression. Most of their art was about death. It reflected the people's passion to avoid death and disaster, and then to conquer even that if it came. They also had masks that would be covered in turquoise or shells.
