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 language barriers, crime, violence, and poverty, but despite it all, they foster and 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, from 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

My students will create bold colorful portraits in inks, on the watercolor paper provided by the generous donation. Some of the students will use the colored pencils. This long term art project is the students' favorite assignment of the semester, as many create portraits of their loved ones, friends and family, while others illustrate iconic musicians, actors, athletes writers and actors.

Carefully brushing the inks into position, the class creates their heroes on paper.

With this kind donation, my students remain highly engaged, focused, and eager to get to work on this complex yet satisfying project. Thank you for your generosity!
