This Cinco de Mayo Art Lesson set has 4 projects plus a game so it may be successfully used with all of your elementary students Kindergarten -5th grade. This product contains 4 Cinco de Mayo art projects with project samples and step-by-step instructions with photos plus so much more. These lessons are loosely based on the artwork of Jasper Johns. Also included is information on Cinco de Mayo, Hispanic Heritage Month, and artist Jasper Johns (1 page each).

I love these mixed media projects because any student can be successful - there is no "right way" to complete the mixed media projects. These lessons encourage student creativity, allow students to make choices in their artwork, and include connections to other disciplines (math, social studies, and literacy). A resource page is included with math and literacy connections.

The lesson is in a PDF file. It includes:

• 4 projects with step-by-step instructions, project samples, and photos
• Fact sheet for Cinco de Mayo
• Fact sheet for Hispanic Heritage Month
• Information about Jasper Johns
• Cross-curricular and literacy connections
• Dice game to play to create the project to increase student engagement

With multiple Cinco de Mayo projects, your lesson can easily be differentiated for students. Choose a project for students, let them choose, or let them create their own projects after seeing these examples.
