My Students

We're a small school with very talented kids. Our art room doubles as a gym and a dance studio.

Our school is small and money is an issue, but my students' talents are overwhelming.

My kids come from difficult backgrounds. Despite this, they are determined to succeed. They see art class as a place to unwind and be themselves without judgment. It's a safe zone!

My Project

Empowering students through art is a goal of mine. By securing acrylic paints and canvas boards, it would give my kids the opportunity to create a project based upon the Harlem Renaissance. They would learn about various African American artists, read about their impact on the art world, learn about their difficult backgrounds and successes, and then create a painting in their chosen artist's style. I want my kids to learn about these artists during Black History Month.

By empowering students through art, they'll understand an important time in this country's history, both visual and literary.

There are different learning styles and each child learns differently. By reinforcing this lesson in two ways, it allows my children to master more information.
