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

A day in the art room is full of creativity in all forms! A diverse set of materials fill the room and engages the students in learning. We are working toward building a foundation of art materials to explore all mediums!

This school is a charter academy with an emphasis on fine arts!

The school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school is growing academically and is full of potential! The art program is an enrichment program to support creativity. Through joyful school experiences, we are forming lifelong learners and a positive school climate and culture.

My Project

In the art room, I try to give my students a well-rounded art experience by exposing them to all art mediums. Within painting, there are a variety of experiences that I want to share with my students.

My students need a diverse set of paintbrushes to create details and embellish their artwork!

For this project, we need enough paintbrushes for all students to paint as well as a variety of sizes of brushes. Large brushes enable students to maximize time and efficiently cover large areas of paintings. We are in desperate need of smaller brushes to create fine details on their artwork. My students love to draw and add creative touches to their projects. These brushes will help bring their paintings to life!
