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 teach in a K-5 public school teaching art to young, creative minds. I am the teacher for 18 different classes of about 20 students each, so we use ALOT of art materials here! Can you think back to creating art in your elementary classroom? Bringing it home to share with friends and family was on the of the proudest moments I can personally remember. My students share that pride and strive to create art they can share to spark joy in others.
My students come into art with enthusiasm and an eagerness to immerse themselves in the artistic process!
Their willingness to try new techniques and their curiosity about art materials lends itself to beautiful works of art beyond that of an elementary level. They have a love for books and enjoy the literacy component to any art lesson. It is my goal to provide my students with the materials they need to keep exploring and discovering in the art room.
My Project
I currently only have access to a black and white printer at my school. Making sure that I am connecting projects to art history and contemporary artists is extremely important to me. Without the ability to print in color and I am unable to give the students good examples of artwork with which they can use as inspiration for their own art.
I believe that strong connections are made to any concepts when an impression is made on the students.
My current focus is to bring cultural responsiveness to all of my lessons. My students and I have been researching one artist every month and creating a "showcase" about them. My goal is to expose my students to artists from all cultures and ethnicities.
With the addition of a color printer I will be able to create handouts and posters for our monthly artist spotlight that show the true colors of the artwork. My students love learning about current artists as well as art history and I want to be able to give them the full experience when it comes to viewing the artwork.
