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 Students

My high school students are enrolled in Digital Design and 2D Studio Art classes with me. In design classes, they train for Adobe industry certification in professional design programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

In art classes, they focus on personal expression through two dimensional art techniques such as painting, printmaking, and drawing.

My Project

These paints will be used in the classroom with multiple classes of 38-40 high school students. The paints will be used on recycled and repurposed supplies, such as cardboard packaging, and foam boards for my high school students to create 2D and 3D artistic masterpieces.

With these paints, my students will learn how to mix different color values, achieve a range of visual texture effects, and learn to work in the realistic and non objective artistic tradition.

At the moment, most of my students are limited to using basic drawing media, so the paints will definitely help to broaden their artistic horizons as they learn to work with acrylic media.
