The murals we created didn’t span us the whole month of course!
We kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with learning about Retablos & their usage in digital arts by the Hispanic & LGBTQIA+ artist Broobs.
We talked about how Retablos have been used historically in art to iconify Christian religious figures with radial symmetry and then discussed how using this format can bring light to important figures who may otherwise be overlooked for their good deeds in their communities.
The students researched an important role model within the Hispanic / Latin community and created with own digital arts Retablos.
