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

My students live in an inner city struggling through issues of drugs, crime, and poverty, but despite it all they maintain a high level of hope and pride in their city.

The culture of the community is highly creative and expressive in many aspects of the arts, from visual arts, to theater, to music, to dance.

The people and students here support and embrace the creative arts unlike many wealthier areas, and the people shine very bright because of it.

My Project

This project is designed to give the students an opportunity to shine a light on the "Everyday People" in their community. Often they want to create portraits of celebrities and musicians they admire, but this time they are asked to celebrate someone they know or see in their surroundings. Whether the picture depicts their grandmother at the kitchen table, or the local barber cutting a customers hair, each image will reflect the culture and citizens that reside in their neighborhoods. These pictures will tell the story of their town today by illustrating the men, women, and children that make this city unique.
