HONORING LATINO/LATINA AMERICAN ARTISTS
During the month of September, the art class will do projects that celebrate Latino American artists and their work. In each class, a
Latino artist will be introduced, their work will be discussed and viewed, and a project inspired by each particular artist will be offered
for students to work on.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2021
Our featured artist for this class will be a Mexican/Cuban American artist Barbara Rivera who creates wonderfully alive and vibrant
portraits of family members here and in her countries of ancestry. She is incredibly proud of her heritage and showcases the visual
traditions and warm colors of her heritage. She claims her paintings tell stories and we will look at and discuss them to see if this is,
in fact, true. We will then attempt to tell a bit of our own personal story through the use of family artifacts and photos in our own
paintings.
