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

Fierce First Graders, ready to create! Imaginations galore, these firsties are creating and building, challenging each other, while nurturing each other’s confidence within our community of learners. They are hard workers who make connections through art while excelling in writing, science and math. Sometimes they just pull out all the stops and create whatever drives their creative hands. Given the supplies and resources they are able to explore multi-media art, right in the classroom! The goal is to engage both the right and left side of the brain while keeping them engaged in daily lessons!

My Project

These supplies will allow my students to create art while allowing them the freedom to decide how they will create and share their ideas.

"Art is A Place for Children To Learn to Trust Their Ideas, Themselves, And To Explore What is Possible"-Mary Ann F Kohl.

These supplies will show them that painting can be created in different ways, shapes and forms. They will be able to use different tools to express themselves and broaden their knowledge about art. They will use different methods using the texture rubbing plates, spin art, watercolors. paint scrapers and texture brushes.

There is something very special that happens after a child creates a piece of art. They feel free, happy and eager to share their masterpiece. The desire to learn in all disciplines increases as we make time for them to be creative through art. The possibilities are endless. My goal is to embrace their thoughts, ideas and confidence and nurture their souls through art.
