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.

I am the art teacher at Lowell Elementary. It is my 5th year of teaching. It is a school in a high poverty neighborhood with a lot of gang activity. Many children struggle with self-esteem issues. They are exposed to very little art beyond my room. Our school really supports the arts, but unfortunately is limited in budget.

I have access to all kinds of wood scraps since my husband is a carpenter. I have found students love working with wood. It is something they would normally never get to do. They get very excited to sand the wood and pick out shapes. My 3rd grade students will make an abstract face sculpture using wood and then paint it. Students will study and discuss abstract art. They will learn how to create a relief using wood and try different painting techniques. They will also learn about scale and proportion.

I would not be able to do this project without additional outside funding. I have all the wood and sandpaper; I just need brushes, a few more colors, and craft glue. Students will learn about relief, abstract art, working with wood, mixing paint and using paintbrushes. It will allow for creativity and a lot of energy that needs to be expressed!

I really want them to understand that being a good artist is not just about being good at drawing realistically. This project encourages self-expression, experimentation, and encourages physical activity! When done, each student will have a sculpture that I will put on display at the school. I hope they will get to do this project!
