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

To have visual arts in life is essential for learning. To be able to give my students skills and tools to work with different materials so students can express themselves. I love teaching art cause to see what each student creates!

Each students brings their individuality to the table.

Each project unique, just like each individual.

The sewing machine for example, I have about five students that are sewing projects for their Advanced Placement 3D portfolio. The clay trimming tools will be used in the clay unit coming up when I teach the students how to throw on the potters wheel in the Sculpture 1 and 2 classes.
