Carmen Lomas Garza Loteria Cards, Flint Hill ES, 12-13

Used with: Kindergarten - 3rd grade

Materials

1.   1 piece of Watercolor Paper 

2.   Black Crayons 

3.   Watercolor Set 

4.   Dish of Water to be shared among students 

5.   Handouts of images with Spanish words will be shared among students. 

Students can use their pencils to draw their designs. They can be quick drawings though so tell students not to go into too much detail. The line images on the handouts are pretty simple. Spanish Dictionaries are on the carts for students who would like to look up their own words for objects that are not on handouts. 

Kindergartners can focus on objects and not writing words. When the objects are finished being drawn in black crayon, students can do a watercolor wash over their objects. The crayon won’t smear. 

“Loteria” is a Mexican card game similar to Bingo. They are making  their cards by drawing two vertical lines and two horizontal lines crossing over the vertical ones, so making 9 rectangles on their paper. Rulers or straight edges may be used. They can draw objects of their choice. These are similar to the etchings Garza created for her own Loteria cards.
