Creating Comics in Comic Book Club

Help me give my students much needed supplies so that they may work on the comic book art skills! I would love for them to have their own sketchbooks and collaborate with their art supplies.

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 school is a struggling school. We are trying to do our best with a lack of resources to support our students the way that they need. This year we have 25 members for our comic book club. They are invested in creating their original characters, writing their original scripts and generally helping and supporting each other. They genuinely love everything about comics; They talk, live and breathe it. Because of comics they found a community that they feel included in with no judgment, just a place where they are growing their skills and confidence while making friends.

My Project

A couple years ago, the comic book club thrived with the art supplies that we received through DonorsChoose. We have expanded to 25 members this year; a group of writers and artists that meet in this club to create art, stories and discuss their love of comics. These resources of sketchbooks, markers and oil based coloring pencils and inking pens will give access to my club members to really explore and develop their skills as visual artists and story tellers. They're enthusiastic, creative, and extremely supportive of one another, so please help support them in this club that brings these students together every week.
