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 Project

Art is an outlet for self-expression, imagination, and creativity. The visual arts are very impactful in the improvement of cognitions, visual and spatial discrepancies, fine motor skills, and coping. Many of my students with autism struggle with communication and are often visual thinkers. Art fits naturally with autism in that it can help those with autism express themselves through images while also being a soothing activity. Art is enjoyable for children, creative projects encourage kids with autism to tolerate various stimuli that they would normally avoid (i.e.the texture of construction paper or the smell of paint).

Having access to a variety of art materials will allow my students to express themselves creatively and is a way for them to communicate using symbols or icons.

These material will also allow my students to explore various textures while they create their masterpieces.
