Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are artistic rockstars! Our school mostly serves African-American, Hispanic, and Caucasian students. A number of our students have specially designed plans to assist with their learning. Yet this does not interfere with their ability to create and identify the elements of art and the principles of design in their artwork or various artists'. Through remote learning and in person, I have demonstrated live or a pre-recorded video demonstrating the art lesson through modeling. Since technology has gone in the direction of touchscreen especially with smartphones. I wanted my students to be able to take it to another level where they are able to draw, sketch, design, and/or paint digitally. Something they have yet to experience in an art class. I would love to provide an iPad for my young artists that includes a stylus. This kind of tool would enhance their artistic capabilities and expand their imagination.

My Project

Art lessons will be created digitally in the classroom. My students can create abstract pieces from referenced artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Romare Bearden, or Picasso. One group will create their work choosing mediums of their choice such as markers, crayons, or colored pencils. The other group will create their work digitally on the iPad. Then they will switch. There will be a written reflection form included in the lesson so they can record their artistic journey, along with their personal perspective.

Their works will be displayed on the walls in the hallway and posted on the school's Twitter page.
