Learning language through an art project

Freshmen Ella Jewsbury, Ryleigh Gill and Artemio Tomas recently worked together on an art project that also taught them a bit about language. Artemio speaks Spanish, and as the three got to work on their stop-motion picture project, the language barrier sparked an idea among the classmates.

Ella and Ryleigh helped Artemio learn new words in English, and Artemio helped Ella and Ryleigh translate those words into Spanish.

“We added the Spanish in there too and added credits at the end so people could see what the words meant,” said Ella.

In the end, the group sharpened their language skills while making some new friends. To check out their final product, click here, or scroll down.
