Artistic Motivational Art: Wearable and Concrete Messages

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

I serve Gifted and Talented students in a highly diverse, low-income district. The students come from many different backgrounds and a majority of our students speak a second language. Our students come from supportive families who want the best for their kids but often do not have the resources they need to assist them. These students are focused and excited to learn.

Gifted students are tomorrow's leaders, inventors, problem-solvers and creators!

Providing them with opportunities to think critically and collaborate is essential for their success while providing them more opportunities to be more college and career ready!

My Project

Students in my class know the importance of design and art. This year they have chosen to design face masks and t-shirts that send positive messages to others during this somewhat sad, isolated time. My students want to be a spark of happiness in the world. They will engage in art curriculum in which they not only design but create wearable and sometimes electric art that can be added to the face masks and tshirts ordered! Face masks that light up with led lights are not out of the question using the lithium batteries and circuitry supplies! Students will learn about Arduino and circuitry to help them enhance their masks as they create designs to brighten others' day.

Students will design and cut out stencils that send positive messages to the world.

The tire hydrophilic foam is used to fill these stencils on concrete to only be revealed on rainy days. People will not notice the concrete art on dry days, but on rainy days their masterpieces will shine through as water will not soak into the concrete messages that they stenciled and their artistic designs will help to brighten each teacher and student's day.
