Spanish Art Walk

Students in Mrs. Dubos’s and Mrs. Cardoso’s Spanish A classes got to enjoy a twist in their assignments when they participated in a Spanish art walk. The teachers laminated and posted multiple pieces of artwork by Carmen Lomas Garza throughout the hall and classrooms, creating a “gallery.” This American artist dedicates her artwork to “depicting the lives of Mexican Americans based on memories and experiences in Texas'' (carmenlomasgarza.com). Students then browsed the “gallery” with questions that they were to answer regarding each piece of art. Some questions were designed for the students to analyze the artwork or create an opinion, while others were to put their Spanish vocabulary to the test. The Spanish teachers walked around observing and helping create more interest by interacting with the students and asking questions about the artwork. This assignment not only had students working on their Spanish skills, but it also gave them a chance to experience museum etiquette and view art that they may not otherwise see.
