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

For this project, I am requesting items that will be beneficial for our observational drawing and painting units. The spotlights will allow for dramatic lighting to fully explore and observe light and shadow as well as being helpful when doing small detail work. I am requesting classical still-life objects such as fake fruit and flowers to create traditional still-life set ups. Many of my students are eagerly creating portfolio-quality art pieces and this project will help. Additionally, the toy animals are very realistic and will provide detail and become a resource for any art making and projects that have animals as the main subject, from drawing and painting, but we often use animals as a starting point for our masks and sacred object art units.
