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

In this unit students will be researching people in history who fought for the change they wanted to see in the world. They'll choose someone who fought for a cause close to their own heart, and research that person's life and campaign to bring about change. They'll be applying that research to create an informational zine about that person and they'll be using their artistic talents to design a graphic symbol to represent the cause that person fought for.

I'm asking you to donate to making this project a full reality with the materials so students can learn about the screen printing process and promote their chosen cause by printing t-shirts and posters.

This project will get students thinking about the freedoms they have that were won by people who saw injustice and decided to be the change they wanted to see in the world.

Art and history come together in this project that hopes to inspire students to find their voice and stand up to do the right thing.
