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 are extremely imaginative, kind, helpful, and creative. However, with a strained budget in a Title 1 school, where we are struggling to meet even the number of required teachers let alone materials, access to quality and variety of materials that students in more affluent schools and neighborhoods would typically have is challenging to provide.

But where there's a will, there's a way.

My students live in unpredictability. There is a lot of change and instability that they face in their day to day lives. As a small school, we do our best to support this, but their arts classes are especially unpredictable due to programming and undefined budgets. Outside funding options, such as Donor's Choose and Materials for the Arts, make big impacts in our classrooms because of these constraints.

My students love tactile experiences and getting to work with materials that "real artists" use in their work. The more skills and actual art-making items they are introduced to, the more engaged they become. With your help, we look forward to being equipped with the tools and materials they deserve to have.

My Project

The sketchbook, watercolors, markers and charcoal pencils will help students complete their projects goals for the 2nd semester! Our supplies from Spring 2019 have gotten us to this point of the school year, but with uncertainty over supplies for the 2019-2020 school year arriving at all, this project will fund the minimum materials needed for the rest of this year.

I strive to guarantee 1 sketchbook for each freshman art student.

This book is theirs, for both in and out of the art room, and follows them through each semester in art. I often replace them on my own when students finish them. One of the biggest things this project would achieve is providing those sketchbooks for the freshman starting Intro to Studio Art in the Spring semester. Additionally, this project would ensure that students ranging from 7th grade to Advanced Placement would have access to materials like watercolor, marker, and charcoal, which there is a preference for amongst students.
