Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our students come from one of the most economically distressed parts of our city. Every day, they overcome challenges in their community, families and their individual lives. These challenges include single parent (or even "zero" parent) homes, violence, poverty and discrimination.

Despite the fact they face many obstacles, they are determined to get the education that will lift them out of poverty and set them on the path to new horizons.

They need to have a rich background of self-expression and critical thinking to successfully complete their journey.

My Project

If each of my students can have their own sketchbook on the first day of class, they will feel ownership and take pride in each drawing they create. Art journals/ sketchbooks are a visual, and sometimes verbal, record of thoughts and ideas which help my kids deal with emotions and situations in their lives.

I encourage my art kids to take notes in their sketchbooks and draw every day which improves their drawing ability and observational skills.

Sketchbook assignments are given every week which helps their ideas grow and fosters creativity. When a project is given, several students refer back to their sketchbook for ideas and inspiration.
