Description:

¡Viajemos! is an immersive journey into the Spanish-speaking world that combines engaging activities that foster cultural appreciation and an introduction to Spanish language. 

Spring session will explore visual arts and creativity of Hispanic cultures through activities including painting, sculpting, and dramatic play. Explore los colores, las formas y la composición (colors, shapes, and composition) by painting in the style of Joan Miró, learn how to talk about los rasgos físicos y las emociones (physical traits and emotions) through self-portraits inspired by Frida Kahlo, and sculpt bread dough figurines like the masapán of Ecuador. These and other creative activities will add context to students’ language experiences and invite them to connect their artistic voices with Spanish vocabulary and expressions.

Sarah Caruso is local to Swarthmore and the Spanish teacher at School in Rose Valley. She is fluent in Spanish and Japanese and has had experience teaching both languages to children through creative activities. Her two sons, both students at SRS, have participated in classes and camps and we are excited to have her as a teaching artist this year!
