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

My students love comic books, and they have their own amazing stories that they have written and want to tell visually.

My students are comic book and manga fanatics.

They approached the school administrators to start this club that wasn't originally offered as an extra-curricular activity. They connect with each other over their love of comic books and art. They support each other creatively, and inspire one another. The writers and artists of this club are working collaboratively to create original comics.

My Project

My students have many original ideas. They want to develop their writing and art skills to create their own comic books. I have been helping my students learn the comic book creating process. With these materials, it will give my students the resources they need to take their imagination and ideas and bring them to fruition.

We are an art school that is focused on more traditional art and lacking in school funding.

Even though there are many genres of alternative art, my students are very focused on comic books and visual story telling. By funding us with art supplies to explore this medium, it gives my students access to understand and expand upon their interests and desires to join and contribute to this industry.
