February: Black History Month
Why we celebrate Black History Month?
It was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans from all periods of U.S. history.
Why February?
It is commonly said that Carter G Woodson chose this month because it includes the birthdays of two people, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, who each played an important role in shaping black history.
Carter G. Woodson
Considered to be the creator of Black History Month and in 1926 designated a time to promote and educate people about Black history and culture.
The Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year will begin on February 10
The Year of the Dragon in 2024 is associated with the element of Wood. The combination of the animal sign (Dragon) and the element (Wood) designates the year as the Year of the Wood Dragon.

FEBRUARY ART LITERACY PROJECT / El PROYECTO DE ARTE DE FEBRERO
Value Grid inspired by Taylor Gordon Celebrating Black History Month
After learning about the Contemporary paintings of 17-year old artist Tyler Gordon, students will explore a key art element used in Tyler’s black, white and grey artwork - Value. During their specials class on Friday, February 9th, students will create a value grid using three colors to explore value scale or shading colors. At age 10, Tyler Gordon found a voice in art and has since painted some of the most celebrated people of our time.
Bridgeport's Art Literacy is a program of the Bridgeport PTO.

Después de conocer las pinturas contemporáneas del artista de 17 años Tyler Gordon, los estudiantes explorarán un elemento artístico principal utilizado en las obras de arte en blanco, negro y gris de Tyler: el valor. Durante su clase especial del viernes 9 de febrero, los estudiantes crearán una cuadrícula de valor utilizando tres colores para explorar la escala de valor o el sombreado de los colores. A los 10 años, Tyler Gordon encontró una voz en el arte y desde entonces ha pintado a algunas de las personas más célebres de nuestro tiempo.
Alfabetización Artística de Bridgeport es un programa de la PTO de Bridgeport.
