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 are special and always eager to learn. These students are always pushing their boundaries to learn more. They demonstrate a lot of creativity and are always looking for new ways to create.

The students in my classroom come from diverse backgrounds but share a passion to create.

Some of the students are fortunate to not have financial issues and other do. But they all work hard to think of new ideas and try new technologies to the classroom. Miami students have a great passion for everything including the arts.

My Project

The materials will make a difference in students learning because it will offer them the opportunity to experiment with different lenses. When using a DSLR changing lenses is a crucial part of experimenting and being creative. Ultra-wide zoom lens with an impressive starting focal length will give students better quality landscape photography. The 50 mm with and aperture of 1.8 is ideal for portrait photography. The 18-300 lens will allow students to go from wide angle and change very quickly to zooming in. The light bulbs will also give us the opportunity to use our light box with stronger wattage.
