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

I have a wonderful and diverse group of students that are always eager to learn Spanish language and culture, in spite of this year's COVID disruptions. I have found that the best way for them to learn class content is to immerse them in a Spanish-speaking culture. This is a rich and great opportunity for them, and for me, to learn from each other. I am always amazed to see how my students show their understanding of new concepts in a contextualized and relevant manner.

I am always looking for innovative ways to create a class environment that allows my students to apply their knowledge to different areas.

They have such great potential and show so much creativity that it is difficult for me to not be excited to go to class every day!

My Project

Reading and interpreting texts are an important part of my class. This project will create an opportunity for my students to not only analyze a text but also to represent their ideas through drawing and painting as we explore our unit on beauty and aesthetics around the world.

We will also explore influential artists of the 20th century as well as native art and designs.

I will use aluminum foil and other different materials to represent tin art techniques inspired by Mexican folk art, a popular art form that has been passed down through several generations.
