This sparked a debate: Is graffiti art?

This is an assignment I used for Hispanic Heritage Month. The students recreated an artwork from a famous Hispanic artist, after researching an artist from a country they chose. The pieces turned out amazing! We then had our own little art gallery where they presented their pieces. Here’s a copy of the assignment I used for Spanish 1. Afterwards, many of the students let me keep their work. 🙂

Great project idea! Did you use a rubric to grade it? Would you be willing to share your rubric? Gracias.
I attached the rubric to the original document, so if you click on the link in my first post, you should see the rubric on the second page.
You could also grade it in a standards’ based way if that’s how your school does grading 🙂
¡Gracias!
Students study the Stromae song “Alors on danse” and reflect on the stresses in their own lives (Stromae sings about financial, family and world problems) and what their source of relaxation/release is (for Stromae, of course, it’s dancing). Then they write their own version of the song. Stromae video here (likely not student appropriate due to alcohol consumption): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHoT4N43jK8. Blog explanation with example of student-written song here: http://mmeblouwolff.weebly.com/stromae-alors-on-danse.html
I know it’s been awhile since you posted this, but I’ve recently been on a Stromae kick. Thanks so much for giving this info!
During our March Music Madness we had a Bachata bracket. I showed this very simple video for dance steps. Very easy to understand and very basic:

Same for salsa:
I love the recursos infantiles by the Prado! I created some Zaption tours of them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8S8EUbs69xK5gr2N12d8qnHpcNZQTTQ6

In my old classroom I divided rectangle concrete bricks into squares and students used copy paperto transer a Spanish tile design to my wall and then paint it. In my new classroom I got grant money to purchase white square tiles. Same process of using copy paper. To transfer a design and paint it. I used a glue gun to stick tiles to the wall. My wall is beautiful!
This blog has some great ideas and resources!

I like the idea of looking for lesser well known artists to introduce to my students. In my first year of teaching and after a graduate course in the Dominican Republic I got to know someone that I had never hear of – Cándido Bidó. Here are some of the links I used for my unit on him.

I actually did something similar to this. I used a small paper plate for the head, students traced it and colored/decorated with crayons. The results were incredible.
Pedro Reyes: Mexican artist that turns weapons (I think confiscated from cartel violence?) into musical instruments. Super cool!! http://goo.gl/aooRHD
