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 Project

These beautiful art books will enhance the print-rich classroom that I have created. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I read aloud to them daily and they enjoy them. These art books are about the favorite artists, including; Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Van Gogh and Monet. to list a few. All students will have access to the art and books about different artists in the class library.

Additionally, all my students will have the opportunity to make a watercolor in the style of the artist.

For example, an artwork made in the style a Frida Kahlo.

My students love to read books and they enjoy making a masterpiece in the style of a famous artist.
