N.Lewis wanted to share with her school community the fine details about this painting. N.Lewis said that she made the painting for her sister’s birthday, as she was turning 17 and her sister asked for the painting. It took N.Lewis an hour to paint the painting by her sister’s birthday on April 5. According to N. Lewis, she said that she likes to paint a lot and the painting she made for her mom for the past Eid al-Fitr inspired her to create this painting.

beautiful drawing made by-N Holland-108

An amazing drawing made by N Holland from 108 . In my opinion, you can tell she really loves the fact that she’s an artist. N. Holland’s drawing gives you many ideas, but one is that she’s very talented and knows it.

“[N. Holland] is interested in sharing her artwork, because it is something she truly enjoys,” Ms. Lisa of Room 108 said. “It is one of her talents and she worked hard on it and she wanted to share with her school community”.

Unveiling The Vejigante Mask!

G. Gomez of section 51, has made a mask for Ms. DeJesus’s class. And it was a lot of hard work, but she said she didn’t mind. Other students made this festive mask, and here is what G. Gomez has to say:

Because I think it would be fun. The mascara de Vejigante is a Puerto Rican tradition. To make these masks with the following materials:

1-same amount of water and glue.
2-a couple strips of news paper.
3-a balloon.
4- wait till dry.
5- decorate anyway you want.

The Vejigantes dance and then they come next to you and smack you with a colorful powder deflated Vejiga. When a Vejigante comes next to you and smack you with a Vejiga people feel special. To me it means to be proud of where you’re from to honor your country and your culture.
