Immersing in Culture, One Project at a Time!

Help me give my students yarn, paint, and brushes for their projects! These materials will aid them in gaining an understanding of the culture of Spanish-speaking countries. Additionally, highlighters are utilized for reading strategies.

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

My students will delve into the world of Huichol art, where they'll have the chance to craft their own masterpieces with the yarn, glue, tiles and paint to share their unique stories. Huichol art, originating from the indigenous Huichol people of Mexico, is renowned for its vibrant colors and intricate designs. Often created using yarn or beads on wooden surfaces. Each piece tells a story, reflecting the Huichol worldview, their connection to nature, and their ceremonial traditions. Through intricate patterns and symbols, Huichol art serves as a visual expression of their rich cultural heritage and serves as a testament to their enduring traditions.
