My Project

With these funds I will...purchase materials for students to create art projects centered around Unsung Heroes in the world. Unsung Heroes are individuals who were unrecognized during their lifetime. These individuals demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion while making enormous impacts on the course of history. Students will resources to create artwork to celebrate Wartime Heroes, Civil Rights Heroes, and STEAM Heroes.

Such as...

Autherine Lucy Foster: The Fight for Equal Education

Irene Sendler: Life in a Jar (Holocaust Hero)

The Fight for Equal Education

Guy Gabaldon: Saving Lives on both sides during WWII

Chester Nez: The Code Talker

Jerrie Cobb: The Fight to Send Women to Space

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase... art supplies with the funds that we raise so that at least students can use a medium, to express their artistic contribution to the Unsung Heroes.

I am the Visual Arts & Graphic Design Teacher here in Northern California. I am passionate about providing access and opportunities for students in the Arts! Innovation, Creativity, Imagination, Collaboration, Ideas, and more are my core values! Providing a space for students to create freely is an imperative thing for students to truly discover who they are and their future contributions to the WORLD!
