First grade learned about the small city of Paracho, Mexico during Hispanic Heritage Month. Paracho is well known for the guitars produced in the city. Paracho artisans have been building guitars for several generations. We mixed the bright colors of Mexican art with making our own guitars. Students used white oil pastels for lines and then painted either warm or cool colors on their paper. They used texture scrapers to add more lines and interest to their paper. They traced their guitar on their paper, cut it out and then traded for the opposite color scheme with their classmates. They added a sound hole and strings, and then decorated with shapes and glitter. We had a lot of guitar playn' going on during class!

I was a graphic designer for many years, and then decided to make the leap into art education. I taught elementary art for 8 years. Archives
