Resources
Tamalada (Making Tamales) by Carmen Lomas Garza
Direct students to their drawings:
- What details can you add that will help us recognize the people in your picture? (favorite clothes and colors, hairstyles, glasses, jewelry...)
- What details can you add that will help us recognize the setting of the activity? (If indoors -- wall decorations, placement of furniture... If outdoors -- signs, buildings, foliage...)
Ask for volunteers to share their work with the class. Pose these questions:
- Tell us about your artwork. What activity are you and your family doing in this picture?
- Why did you choose this activity?
- What details did you add today? Why?
Next time we meet, we will discuss how artist display their artwork and we will prepare our drawings for display. Think of a title for your picture.
