DOVE & FLOWERS Inspired by DIEGO RIVERA | Hispanic Heritage Month Activity

Are your students learning about artist Diego Rivera, Hispanic Heritage Month, or Mexican Folk Art? Consider adding an art project to your Mexican Folk Art unit! I'm happy to offer this Diego Rivera inspired Dove and Flowers chalk pastel art lesson that was designed for students in 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.

This glue and chalk pastel project was inspired by a Diego Rivera painting that is included in the Detroit Industry Mural: West Wall (1933).

This video tutorial demonstrates the necessary steps to complete this low-prep art project. Use this project as supplemental learning in Art, Science, Math, Literature, Social Studies, SEL, Language Arts, or History themes. This art project offers a fun and engaging opportunity to incorporate students' artistic literacy and innate love of hands-on experimentation into a core curriculum unit of study. To enhance student comprehension, consider turning your STEM unit into a STEAM unit with the addition of this art project.

This digital resource is Distance Learning Supported. Videos may be paused, fast-forwarded, or reversed as needed. Excellent resource to use for sub plans and to display as classroom decor. Use completed projects to brighten up your walls and bulletin boards or to give as a unique gift to parents. Need a class incentive reward or a party day activity? Consider an art project :)
