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

In our art room, students engage in a variety of creative activities that foster self-expression, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. From sketching and painting to printmaking and mixed-media works, white paper serves as the foundational material for nearly every project. However, the current supply of paper is insufficient to meet the growing demand, especially as the school year progresses and projects become more complex.

I am seeking funding to replenish and maintain a steady supply of white paper, ensuring that all students have access to the necessary materials to fully engage in their creative process.

The art room is a vibrant, dynamic space where students explore a range of artistic mediums and techniques. White paper, in its many forms, such as sketching, watercolor, and drawing paper, is integral to nearly every lesson and project. Unfortunately, due to high demand and limited budget, we frequently find ourselves running out of paper before the end of each semester. This shortage restricts students' ability to complete projects and diminishes the overall effectiveness of the program.

With a consistent stock of white paper, we will be able to support individual and group art projects throughout the school year. We will ensure all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to high-quality materials. We will allow students to experiment with various artistic techniques without the barrier of limited resources.

We will maintain a flexible art curriculum that adapts to students’ creative needs.
