When Heidi Huck invited world-renowned muralist Hector Duarte to visit her Spanish for Native Speakers class, she had an important objective in mind that stretched beyond an art lesson. My goal was to help them be proud of their names, who they are and what they do, said Huck, a longtime Spanish teacher at Rolling Meadows High School.
Duarte has created more than 50 public art works throughout the Chicago metro area over the past 30 years. His art is exhibited at the National Museum of Mexican Art, the School of the Art Institute and the Chicago Historical Society, among other institutions. His work is also on display throughout the United States and in Mexico.
