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

These supplies will help my AP 2D Art students and Art 1 students create a series of works where they will be talking about personal, social, political, and cultural issues. What I love about being an art teacher is the ability to see what matters to my students and how they represent the issues that are important to them. The Non-Branded Mobile Organizer with 20 Drawers, will allow me to store art supplies.

I know that these supplies will allow my students to experiment with materials that they would necessarily not use, like watercolors, sculpture, multi-media creations, etc.

I want my students to have options to create a series that they will be proud of and to be able to look back and be proud of themselves. The community I serve is underrepresented, low low-income, and now more than ever, the arts have to be taken care of. My students will be able to use these supplies to create artwork that speaks about the current issues in our society and will allow students to make drawings, paintings, posters, collages, and multimedia work.
