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

I have a diverse group of students who grow to love and appreciate Graphic Design. These back to school materials will provide them with supplies needed for learning, sharing and thriving in the classroom.

We will use markers, pens, sketchbooks and sharpies for drawing exercises and for sketching out graphic design ideas.

The matte boards will be used to display our finished art in the school library and in competitive art shows. Headphones will allow students to listed to my instructional videos if they missed or need to review a skills demonstration.

The class focuses on creative thinking, technical learning and peer critiques which help students to grow creatively and gain soft skills. Thank you in advance for your consideration in supporting my students.
