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 Project

My students love to create things and explore with art mediums. They look forward to our Visual Art lessons and every time they complete a new art piece they are eager to start the next piece. They take so much pride in displaying and talking about their work.

In order to create art that they can reflect on, my students need art-making materials such as paints, markers, watercolors, oil pastels as well as paper and brushes so they can have what they need to begin.

These art-making supplies will be a wonderful addition to my classroom. My young students will be able to create art and reflect upon what they have made. They will also discover the significance and value of art in their lives.
