This fun program allows students to color and texture various symbols and landmarks of Colorado online such as the New Mexico flag, state quarter, and the Petrified Forest.
The New Mexico state flag features a red sun symbol of the Zia people on a golden yellow background, representing the state’s Native American heritage and Spanish influences. The four groups of rays stand for the four directions, seasons, times of day, and stages of life.
The New Mexico state quarter, released in 2008, features the Zia sun symbol placed over a topographical outline of the state. It highlights New Mexico’s cultural heritage and its nickname, “Land of Enchantment.”
Read the description carefully and imagine the scene in your mind, paying attention to the colors, shapes, and details. Then, draw the picture as you see it, including as many elements from the description as you can.
