Celebrating 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 are energetic, love to work with their hands, and are interested in exploring their identities in art. They use art class to release pent up energy and take a little "me time" to relax and loosen up from strict classroom settings. They like to do activities that stimulate their senses which gets them to focus more on the activity at hand. Students think about their likes, interests, and daily routines to showcase bits and pieces of their identities in their artwork.
My students are diverse racially and culturally, which they know and accept.
Whether they were born here, moved or immigrated here, they still come together and learn in the same environment. Even if some students are not confident in visual arts, their peers will help and suggest ideas to help each other at least start their art projects. Students use the art classroom to freely express themselves because they know it's safe or simply have no better place to do so.
My Project
The printing press is essential in increasing students' repertoire of creative possibilities. Students want new ways to make art and explore different art mediums. I want to excite them with something they've never tried before and inspire their imagination.
Students have worked with various traditional media, but none have given them the ability to design, reproduce, and edit as quickly as the printing press would.
Print can be a treat for the senses and food for the soul. It’s an art in and of itself with a special ability to showcase the miracles that simple paper and ink can do.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
