Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My elementary students come into my class excited to learn, discover and make new things in art. “Mrs. Gonzalez, what are we going to do today? Are we going to paint?,” some ask as they come through the door of the art room.

I teach elementary art to about 400 second- fifth grade students from diverse cultures, and varying economic backgrounds.

Most students are of Hispanic origin, some are recent immigrants from Venezuela, Columbia and Cuba. These students bring diverse viewpoints to class discussions on art and art history. My aim is to provide all my art students with a variety of media and art forms for them to explore and create.

My Project

My students need new, sturdy, art tables to maximize the small classroom space, allow for flexible seating and table top steadiness for creating their art projects.

I would love to transform my classroom into an art studio setting for my little artists to learn, create and explore.

Currently, I have old tables of varying sizes and heights in a small classroom space. There are days in which I teach about 36 students for an hour in this room, weekly. The current tables create a difficulty for my students in passing out supplies, and does not allow any movement for them to explore the art room, because of the clutter of the large and small tables in a tight space. It is also difficult to erase, draw and build without wiggling the tables and causing unintentional lines and shapes in their drawings and projects. Clean up is also difficult with limited space to move.

I’m hoping to replace all the different sized tables with 6 new, medium sized, color coded tables with sturdy legs. These new tables will open up the art room and create a wonderful space for them to learn and explore.
