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

Do you remember what art class was like in high school? Did you have all the supplies you needed to create any project you wanted? Imagine being in an art class where supplies were extremely limited and sparse.

My students are high school grades 9 through 12.

The majority of them are planning to attend an art college to further their love of art. Our school is geared towards the arts, but unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the art department has suffered. The students who attend this school are underprivileged yet find joy in art and deserve the opportunity to create.

My Project

I am asking for a variety of colors in Prismacolor colored pencils. These pencils are not only valuable to artists, but will enhance my students' artwork and help to give them a vivid art portfolio to take to college interviews. I am also asking for drafting supplies, ie., rulers, compasses, stencils, etc., in order to help complete the design curriculum. We work on architecture, advertising, and graphic design, and all of these items will help the students create powerful pieces.

My students are enrolled in a design course, where many of them are hoping to attend an art college that will further their talents.

Unfortunately, we are a school who has suffered from budget cuts and purchasing simple supplies like rulers is a difficult task. We ask for your help in keeping our art department alive and running. We are a school filled with students who want to grow as artists, but we are challenged to do so with limited supplies.
