From September 15th-October 15th, we celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month to bring awareness of various hispanic cultures around the world. Many beautiful art forms come from Hispanic cultures. I grew up in San Antonio, TX which isn’t very far from the Mexican border. One of my favorite things about living in San Antonio, was visiting the Mexican Market. Rooms were filled with brightly colored goods such as metal art, clothing, blankets and pottery. I also enjoyed all the food and smells I experienced in the market. Mexican pastries were among some of my favorites to try. Here are some fun activities you could try to honor the artists from these cultural backgrounds.
