Familia, Identidad y Camino: Watercolor Canvas with Spanish Audio Narrative
Each student creates a finished watercolor canvas that combines a family member’s migration story with symbols of their own identity and history. They also submit a QR-linked Spanish audio narration that uses the preterite and imperfect to explain the meaning of the artwork.
Raíces en Lienzo Gallery Panel and Shared Problem Statement for Community Viewing
In teams, students create a polished shared statement of the central migration/identity problem their artworks address, then curate and present a collaborative higher-fidelity display panel or mini-installation that connects individual canvases into one class narrative for authentic stakeholders. The team presentation explains common themes, evidence from interviews and Esperanza, and how the individual prototypes informed the final shared message.
