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

My digital photography students have created some beautiful masterpieces so far this year, but they are stuck in cyber space. Our classroom photo printer needs ink.

Seeing their photographs in their hands, in their portfolio, and hanging on the wall gives them such pride, confidence, and motivation to continue creating better work.

We share work on the screen, but I would love to be able to give them prints to share with their classmates for group critiques, and to take home to their parents and families. Please help me enrich their artistic learning as well as bring actual photographs to their portfolios. Thank you!
