Modern Language Day 2022

You're probably wondering, What is so special about a sombrero? What makes it stand out? Why does it represent Spanish culture? The sombrero is a symbol of Mexican culture to be specific. It's an important part of the hat dance. Most people don't know this but the sombrero tells a story about a young man who gives up his most valuable possessions (his sombrero) to win the affectionate of a woman he loves If you know anything about the spanish culture you know that sombreros are a very big part of the music industry. Most banda or male singers wear it.

Mi Sombrero

My painting is of a Latina woman who is wearing authentic clothing. She is walking in a field of flowers and the red flowers climb up her dress as she walks with a sunset behind her. I used watercolor for the flowers, dress, hair, and skin because I could make it look realistic, especially the skin because I wanted it to look like she had dimension. This painting represents how beautiful the culture, clothing, and people are. She shows elegancy in her identity which represents where she comes from.

Lady in The Flowers

I spent about 4 hours on my project. The flowers are made
from tissue paper.
