My Mini Masterpiece

Help me give my students art materials that normally they would not be able to experience. How to draw books, air dry clay, mini-easels are just a few items that I could never afford.

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

We are a school where eighty-seven percent of our students receive free lunches. Most students come from single-parent, working-class, immigrant families, and/or Spanish-speaking environments. Opportunities in abundance on the other side of town seem like a fantasy in our classroom. Students aren't vacationing; they read, draw, and imagine travel. In art class, learners draw those imagined experiences or create from life. Students attempt to understand their world, especially during the pandemic, as they practice drawing their experiences. These creative experiences allow this ATPE art educator to journey with her students in an attempt to embrace cultures, solve problems and consider why artists make.

Our school's motto is, "Show up, work hard, read!" It sounds simple; however many of our students don't read in either language when they enter the doors.

Our goal is to give learners real-world tools so that every learner possesses the skills they need to participate in the 21st century. At the same time, I push myself to create opportunities for learners and relish the time we have together. We "show up, think hard, and create magic!"

My Project

Sharpies are a big deal in elementary. The colors are rich and the point makes a thick bold line, a real favorite with the littles. These colors are unexpected and will not have been experienced before in the art room.

In a pandemic year, we cannot sculpt with traditional clay, and this air-dry clay will allow students to replicate the experience of sculpting.

Learners will be thrilled as it has been two years without clay. The kinesthetic learners will relish this tactile experience.

The sharpies are also so that learners can create the mini-masterpiece. Learners will block in the painting with paint and then once it has dried they can go over the paint to add in the details and texture. How-to-draw books are great and this assortment allows students to have a book to themselves as they peruse the steps all on their own.
