Loteria Art 


 

La Lotería has been played as a game of chance and for educational purposes. Because the Lotería cards include the name of the pictured character, they are used to teach reading, writing, history, and social values. Many bilingual teachers use the game as a teaching tool in the United States.

 

In this workshop participants will paint their favorite Lotería card. Participants can pick from Don Clemente's most popular Lotería cards of all time and turn them into their own masterpiece!
