Activities for September


Wooohooo!!!! Here comes September already! We are ready to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by creating artwork using as inspiration the work of Carlos Luna, a well known contemporary artist.

As we create our artwork we will learn mostly lines, shapes, contrast, backgrounds and foregrounds.  See our Lesson in details below.
September 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries:
Costa RicaEl SalvadorGuatemalaHonduras and Nicaragua. They all declared independence in 1821. In addition, MexicoChile and Belize celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18, and September 21, respectively.[1]
Hispanic Heritage Month also celebrates the long and important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America, starting with the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus on the morning of October 12, 1492.  (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hispanic_Heritage_Month)
The term Hispanic broadly refers to the people, nations, and cultures that have a historical link to Spain.
