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

Hello!

This year, young artists are learning watercolor techniques, as well as why artists would choose to work in this medium.

We have been using leftover supplies from last year and are quickly running out of paint and paper.

This is the first painting project they’ve done this academic year and I’d love for them to fall in love with the medium and their resulting artwork: a self-portrait that captures who they are through exploring color and its application.

The paint palettes were are currently using are running out and the paper we are using does not hold the pigment quite as well as I had hoped. Better quality paper, as well as a range of colors will add to engagement, as well as the level of expression!
