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 amazing. They have been so resilient and even more hungry to learn new things and create in art class regardless of their classroom environment. This pandemic year, students have had to either learn art from home or learn in my classroom three feet apart. Wherever they are, they still come in or Zoom in excited to learn about art. "What are we going to do today?" they eagerly ask me everyday.

Art is something they need more than ever this year.

This school year, due to the pandemic, students have been stressed greatly. They have been dealing with new social distancing rules, new classroom situations and other challenges, but I'm determined to bring art to them no matter what.

I teach elementary art to about 300 second through fifth-grade students from diverse cultures, special needs, and varying economic backgrounds. My goal is to provide all my art students with a nurturing, healthy, and inspiring art studio environment so they can create and express themselves in their art safely.

My Project

This school year, sketchbooks have been vital to our art learning. At times, students have had to change their classrooms from one day to the next (from physical classroom setting to home setting) but regardless of their classroom environment, the students with sketchbooks have been able to keep up with their art and have kept their art in one place. However, the students without a sketchbook have struggled to keep up with their art class and their art projects.

This sketchbook project will fund sketchbooks for all of my 2nd and 3rd grade students for the next school year.

They will serve as a way to build an art portfolio and track their growth in art. The project is designed to give these students 60 pages of good art paper to compile sketches and paintings throughout the year and to keep their art organized. At the end of the year, the book will serve as a memory of their artwork from these elementary years.
