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.
My Project
I am constantly amazed by my students' enthusiasm, collaboration, and unique perspectives.. I cherish their willingness to take risks and experiment, as each student brings a distinct style and story to their work. The bonds they form with each other also create a supportive community, where they uplift and encourage one another to grow as artists.
As they experiment with nail colors, designs, and techniques, they will develop fine motor skills and attention to detail.
This activity can inspire them to think creatively about beauty and fashion in their artwork and the little details that will make their outfits complete.
By integrating these resources into our art senior prom project, we aim to create an enriching experience that promotes creativity, teamwork, and self-expression. Our goal is to empower students to embrace their artistic identities while ensuring they have a memorable and beautiful prom experience to celebrate their achievements.
