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

For this proposal, I am requesting drawing pencils, oils pastels, and class sets of watercolors. These items are essential for a well stocked and working art room. I work hard to create an art studio that is welcoming, accessible, and inspiring for all my art students. though your generosity, I am able to beg generous to my students, and that itself, has a calming effect.By being able to be generous to my kids with high quality art materials, they feel good and proud. They look forwards to their time in the art studio as one of peace, calmness, and as an escape form outside obstacle. The see this time as moments of mindfullness, a place to slow down, draw, and enjoy.
