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

Help! Last week, our district has frozen all spending. I am an art teacher that teaches over 800 students a year at 5 schools. Each year, we are given a small budget of $.50 per student, and that budget has been suddenly cut. My students need art supplies to finish this school year.

I teach elementary students at five different schools in an urban California school district.

We are very fortunate to have an art program (at least for now) in our district. My program is geared to give high risk students an opportunity in the school day to have a visual art experience. My students thrive with their art. Some of them do not even own a box of crayons, and my weekly visit to their classroom is often times the only art they get. For some of my students who struggle in school, it's the only time they may feel any kind of success. For them, art may be what keeps them going to school in the future. For now, it is my job to keep them engaged, to give them fresh experiences, and to help them to continue to explore creativity in exciting ways.

My Project

With the smorgasbord of art supplies I am requesting, some of them as basic as glue sticks, I would like to supplement the supplies I already have to give the kids one last amazing "hurrah" of an art experience before the end of the school year. For the first part of the year, my students worked on a lot of two-dimensional art, and now I would like them to have a three-dimensional, hands-on, creative opportunity-- everything from collage and base relief to wire and paper sculpture. A former art professor of mine once said: "You can walk right past a painting, but you have to confront a sculpture; you can't ignore it-- it has a life of its own." I want my students to build and create something that has a life of its own.

Next year is looking rather bleak for the arts in my schools.

There are talks of extreme cutbacks. I hope it is not the "last hurrah" for art for my students. For the present, though, it is time to stay focused on my students and give them every opportunity to learn, grow, and develop as a whole person, so my students don't just become another number or another test score.
