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

Our Title I school serves free breakfast for 85% of the students, and they get to the school early to eat the breakfast that they don’t get at home. My students eat their breakfast at school each morning before they come to my class. Fuel in their bodies makes them ready to learn and start the day.

We are a uniform school.

Some kids have uniforms that fit and are clean, and others have uniforms that are too big, too small, and don't really look clean. The majority of kids are happy, energetic, and ready to learn, but some students have trouble staying awake and staying focused. They come every day from group homes, and some are homeless or being raised by grandparents.

My students are 11, 12, 13, and 14-year-old boys and girls who are growing, trying, creating, experiencing, experimenting, challenging, and ultimately becoming educated with art in my classroom.

My classes are all year long, so I can work with these students in-depth with technology, get to know their strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and see their creativity develop as their experience with art increases and grows.

My Project

Usually, students don't have watercolor sets at home for projects, but few of my students do have basic materials. Our school is starting out with distant learning and I have put together a packet of art supplies: color pencils, color markers, crayons, erasers, pencils, rulers, and sketchbooks.

I would like to add a set of watercolors to the class packs that they will pick up at school the first week before classes start.

They will be able to learn how to paint while at home, social distancing during this pandemic, and not fall behind the state art curriculum. The first project they do in the classroom is to learn about color and paint a color wheel learning about color mixing and theory. If they have paint sets at home, school will go as usual and they will learn how to do this by watching videos of my demonstrating what to do. Color, painting is such an expressive media that they will then have to complete the rest of their assignments while they are distant learning.
