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.
I teach sophomore high school students who love music! My hope is to let their love of music shine through this book construction project.
My students are innate problem solvers!
They love to create and have great drive.
The students have a growth mindset and love to help one another grow. As a first time art teacher at this STEM based school, I am always surprised how personally aware these students are of not only their own needs but of those of others.
My Project
My students love to create and push the envelope. I am excited to see what the students will create and what stories they will tell through their books!
These materials will allow the students to experiment in the construction of their books; they can range from actual sculpture forms to accordion books or even the classic hand bound style.
The goal is to have students have a greater appreciation for the craft in the creation of a book and of the materials they are using. Students are responsible for creating a storyboard and sketches for the design of their books. This will take them through the full design process.
