Hispanic Heritage Month Lands in the Most Chaotic Weeks of the School Year.
It shows up right as school starts. You want to do it well, and you have no time to build anything.
So you search, and you find bulletin boards, playlists, and one-page trivia. Students enjoy it for a day, and nobody speaks or writes much Spanish.
Students use language when they have something real to look at and a reason to talk about it. Seven great artworks give them both.
The Hispanic Heritage Art Portfolio gives you seven sessions that are already built. You teach, and your students do the talking!

The Portfolio Walkthrough
$47 valueA short how-to lesson for every resource, so you know what to open and what your students do with it.
Reading Book / Libro de lectura
$97 valueA Google Doc in two editions: bilingual (36 pages) and Spanish-only (25 pages). Seven short chapters tell the story of the Hispanic world, from La antigüedad to El mundo de hoy. Each of the seven artists gets a biography and a page per artwork, and every artwork page ends with one open question to start the discussion.
Writing Book / Cuaderno de escritura
$97 valueA Google Doc in two editions: bilingual and Spanish-only. For each artist, students answer two discussion questions, write a Resumen, a Comentario, and a Conclusión, then add a short Mi historia paragraph. It also has a Writing Goals page, My Progress, a 25-row My New Words table, and Notes.
Interactive Slides
$127 value160 Google Slides in Spanish with English support. The first 19 give the big picture: the Sept 15 to Oct 15 calendar with Independence Day flags, six eras, artist and artwork timelines, cultural centers, and where each artwork is today and what it is worth. Each artist then gets about 18 slides, from the bio and the artwork to the drawing tally, the message, and the writing.
Mi historia del mundo hispano
In the Writing BookThe last page of the Writing Book is where it all comes together. Students paste in their paragraph from the introduction, each of the seven artists, and the conclusion, and finish with one written piece of their own, in Spanish, about the story of the Hispanic world.

This Is for You If…
This is not for you if:
- You want to choose your own artists and artworks. The Historia de Arte system lets you teach any artwork, and the artists here are fixed.
- You want to teach art history. These are Spanish lessons, and the art gives students words to use.
Here’s What I Am, and What I’m Not.
I’m not a credentialed academic, and I want to say that upfront. I’ve spent a lot of my life in classrooms: homeschool rooms, co-ops, and substitute assignments, plus 20+ years living bilingually in Spanish.
Hispanic Heritage Month is one of the most meaningful opportunities of the school year, and one of the most overwhelming. You want to do it well, and you want your students to really connect with the history and the people behind the language they are learning.
I built the Portfolio on the Historia de Arte system, so seven great artworks give your students something real to look at, describe, and write about. The stories, the slides, the discussion, and the writing are already done.
Seven artists, seven sessions, everything prepared for a great discussion any time of the year!

What Teachers Say
“It is EXTENSIVE. Not only for the artistic component, but as a repository of vocabulary.”
“…these words turn my students’ writing into another level of sophistication.”
“…an awesome list because my Spanish 3 classes are working on drawing a famous painting, and then writing about the artist, using some of the vocab this list provided.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for Hispanic Heritage Month?
No. It was made for Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15 to Oct 15), and it works any time of year as a standalone unit on art, history, and culture.
Do I need Historia de Arte?
No. The Portfolio is sold on its own. If you own Historia de Arte, you can run the Portfolio through your own Interactive Slides and Vocabulary Menu.
Do I have to teach the artists in order?
No. Each session stands on its own, so you can teach the artists in any order.
Is this an art history curriculum?
