🎨🌎✨ ARTIST OF THE WEEK — DEZIRAE D.! ✨🌎🎨

Congratulations to Dezirae D., 7th grade, our newest MOJH Artist of the Week! 🐏💙

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dezirae explored Peru's rich culture and heritage through her artwork! 🇵🇪🎨

This project connects to IB MYP Criterion C: Thinking Creatively, challenging students to design personalized covers using drawings, patterns, collage, and symbolic imagery to communicate their ideas and perspectives.

Through this creative process, students learn that art is more than something beautiful to look at—it's a powerful way to celebrate cultural identity, express individuality, and share stories that connect us! 🌎💙

Dezirae's project highlights how creativity and cultural exploration come together in the MYP classroom.

Sometimes we don't realize how much we can communicate through art… YET! 🎨✨

👏 Congratulations, Dezirae! Thank you for helping us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and our MOJH students' creativity!
