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 love coming to art class! We follow the Teaching Artistic Behavior model of art education, which teaches students to think like an artist. Students must be creative, learn to problem solve, be able to communicate ideas, communicate with peers and more.

Each class is unique and special; our learning is entirely student-led.

Students' ideas and inspiration are always at the center of our classroom. Students, like artists, have their own ideas of what is important, what they are interested in, and what they want to share with the world. In our classroom, they are given a space to do all of those things! You won't see the same project twice!

We are a Title I school in North Houston, TX with over 950 artists in residence students!

My Project

My students have so many varied interests, and my goal is to allow them to express themselves creatively every single day. They need more drawing books and a bookshelf to access the books in our classroom. Additionally, I know that my students needs are varied, so we need stools to support flexible seating and Fire Tablets for students to do research. I want my students to be self sufficient, and having a bookshelf to display our drawing books and Fire Tablets to do research will support their independence and help them to make art!

Reading is one of the most important skills we can teach our kids, regardless of the subject - having books about art gives my students a chance to practice reading and art at the same time.

That is a win-win situation for us!
