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 students are a mix of personalities. Some are shy and others are gregarious. Some are serious and some are goofy. They are still testing out their personas, so to speak, but they are a tough bunch. Maybe they have to be since we are located in the South Bronx. We are a Title I school in a not yet gentrified area. It is unfortunate that our students have to walk past addicts and discarded drug paraphernalia on their way to school.

Our school provides them with a sanctuary that allows them to grow and learn.

We are a 6-12 school so we have the opportunity to watch these students grow from children to young adults. Since we are a relatively small school, we get to know the students, their siblings, and their families. There is a good sense of community at our school.

My Project

Many of our students have been under a tremendous amount of stress during this pandemic, and they are seeking outlets to relieve anxiety. A lot of my students love art and find it therapeutic.

These Copic Ciao Double Ended Markers, Alcohol Based Art Markers, and Watercolor Brush Pens will allow my students to express their creativity through their drawings.

Scores of anime, manga, and comics artists as well as landscape, product, architecture, and fashion designers prefer Copic markers because of their ultra-blendable, low odor, alcohol based inks. Unlike water-based inks, which tend to pill and oversoak the paper while blending, Copics mix on the surface to deliver the wonderfully rich blends. I know my students will enjoy experimenting and creating with these markers. Thank you for your consideration.
