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

Students can create dynamic compositions that use symmetry, balance positive and negative space, and more

- Students will learn the relationship between color and mood, abd how to create the illusion of space on a 2 D Surface

-Learn about art principles like harmony and unity. Harmony can be created by using similar colors, textures, and marks throughout a piece, while unity connects different aspects of an image into a cohesive work

-Challeng project that encourage creative thinking and individuality

Students can enjoy art lessons and see the results of their work, which can help boost their confidence. Using pastels can help students develop fine motor skills, coordination, and cognition
