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

Learning to draw can be different for every student. Some students learn by the repetitive tracing of stencils, by copying another drawing, or by freehand sketching. No matter how you learn to draw, it takes lots of practice. This project will enable students to try different methods.

My students are new immigrants to our country.

They bring with them an excitement and awe of learning about their new home, as well as a wealth of memories of their countries. They are very impoverished and excited about creating their own stories in art. When they can create artwork to take home and share, it is the best!

My Project

The classpacks of drawing materials will be used by every art student. Three drawing books will add to our drawing library. The tracing paper will help some students learn control of their pencil, and help in the development of the hand-eye coordination. Many of my students gain self-confidence when tracing. Because my students love art, I know they will have their sketchbooks filled up in no time!

Learning to draw is the foundation for many other artistic endeavors.

Artists usually sketch before they begin a drawing, painting, sculpture, jewelry or ceramics. There are several methods to learn to draw, differing mainly in the types of tools used to gain proficiency. Learning to see and develop hand-eye coordination iw important in many vocations. This ability can be honed in the early years in the art classroom.
