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

Using printmaking supplies students will be able to create a visual to accompany their interviews of loved ones. After interviewing a family member students will choose a story that represents their personal and family values. This project will allow students to take ownership of their personal history and values to create a representational piece of art that integrates social studies. Students will be learning about values communicated to Native American groups through oral history to guide them in choosing symbols throughout oral history in their lives after interviews with their families.
