mayan+calendar

The **Maya calendar** is a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and by some modern Maya communities in the highlands of Guatemala.
 * The Haab'** is part of the Maya calendric system. It was the Maya version of the 365-day calendar known to many of the pre-Columbian cultures of Mesoamerica, which timed the solar year. We will be focusing on the Haab' calendar. The Haab' has eighteen **"months"** with twenty days in each month, plus an additional period of five days ("nameless days") at the end of the year known as //Wayeb'. Below are the month symbols.//



Your assignment is to find the month symbol that coincides with your birthday. At the end of this project we as a class will have a complete Haab' - 18 month calendar. Since we have also studied a few color theory lessons, you need to choose a color scheme. Please refer to the color wheels below for help with selecting a color scheme. A color scheme is a combination of colors that work well together.
