En mi casa....

Hogar dulce hogar

A home is more than a house. That is why every retail store these days is filled with inspirational quotes to hang around the house. With this idea in mind, I decided to have my students take a closer look at their families and use the affirmative tú commands to create some art. Here are the steps we followed.

Step 1: The idea was for them to decide what were some of the important things that were important to their families. I love lettering and do it as a hobby. Well, life gets busy and projects get set aside. So, when a workshop opened up with Lettering Works, I jumped at the opportunity!

 

The end result was cute and I made it a big poster to decorate my classroom. It also allowed us to talk about each of the commands I used and why those were important to MY family. 
 

Step 2: Students were given some time to brainstorm. Some fun music in the background for inspiration helped! We also embraced #throwbackThursday, left technology aside, and dusted off some paper dictionaries.

Step 3: I shared with them some examples and ideas that they could create. I made an example by just writing my commands with different fonts and then coloring them to give it some life.

This one is from Chelsie, the artist who hosted the workshop and the inspiration for mine. Click on the image to check out more of her work. 

A few months after, the semester wrapped up and I made them a little notecard thanking them all for lettering with me. I love it and it brings me joy, so I wanted them to find a different artistic outlet. 

This is the one I made later on:
