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 art students love visually imagining pictures and relate to a creative process that makes them graphic with hard edges. Mastery looks like adequate hand-eye coordination and awareness of group comprehension by being able to compare and contrast finished samples.

They are more willing to immerse themselves in creative work utilizing tracing paper from sketches and own achievement by incorporating permanent marker.

Command of skill inevitably comes during some phase using these consumable materials they deserve for this important part of their aesthetic learning. Your donation aids in their maturing process.
