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
I am an art teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district where students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. I want things to remain simple in my classroom and I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My high school students are very creative in the arts (art and music).
They love to get a chance to express themselves. We are in need of art materials so they can be successful and as creative as possible in class and after-school art club. Students love to receive positive attention and praise from their mentors and peers. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, my goal is to focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I highlight their strengths and try to make every student feel important. I may not be able to control their home lives, but I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire our students to put their best selves forward.
My Project
We will be combining Biology and art in one. Prior to this lesson students will have looked at collected bacteria in a petri dish from around the school.
Inspired by Artist Klari Reis, famous for her Petri dish installations, students will create abstract cellular art by observing Petri dishes from Biology class.
I will first introduce the students to her work. I will show examples of her installations and close-ups of her Petri dish art and cellular art. Students will use acrylic paint to paint on small Round stretched canvas' that will be apart of a installation in the science wing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
