Screen Printing for Middle School Artists

Help me give my students screen printing materials so they can learn a hands on art making method. We have many screens in the art room, but no materials to actually make prints.

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

I am very fortunate to be the art teacher in a very diverse school, where over thirty native languages are represented. I welcome the diversity as well as the rich mixture of my students in my classroom. I see over two-hundred 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students a year.

They love exploring everything from portraits and still life, to sculpture and painting.

Their creativity is limitless, and I love being able to give them the tools to be problem solvers, hone their technical skills and provide multiple creative opportunities to grow as artists and students.

Help me give my students screen printing materials so they can learn another hands on art making method. We have many screens in the art room, but no materials to actually make prints. These materials will allow us to create unique paper prints, collages, and design t-shirts.

My students work hard each and every day in art class, and are excited to create with screen printing.

We need good quality materials for screen printing that do not require a dark room. These materials will last us a long time. Please consider helping us and my students and I will be forever thankful!
