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

Have you ever taken an art class? Do you remember how fun it was to use paint and mix colors on your palette and how amazing it felt to be able to create something that you were proud of? I want my students to have that same experience, but sadly with budget cuts they may not know that joy.

I teach in a California urban charter school.

We sadly have very little funding and our students come from poor backgrounds. Any art supplies the students use must be gained through funding raising efforts. Despite this, my students LOVE ART!! Many of them have a particular interests in painting, especially landscapes and portraiture. I have told students that artists often times have commissioned work. After that, some of my students started to create portraits or drawings and sell them to the teachers and staff to raise money.

My Project

The canvas, books, and art materials requested will help the students further their understanding of and practice of painting and color theory. For most of these students, this will be the first painting that they have ever created in their entire life! Most of my students do not even know what a canvas is and just wanted to touch the sample painting I brought to class. With these materials the students will be able to learn how to use acrylic paints and read about different painting techniques. The canvases requested will allow these student to create their very first painting! The students will work on their paintings and use the books to increase their knowledge of painting techniques. The gloves requested will help the students clean-up and be neat at the same time!

In a time of budget cuts, the arts are the last priority for funding.

However, it is more important then ever to make sure our children are well-rounded individuals. These canvases, books, and the drying rack will enable my students to create their first painting. Creativity is one of the highest forms of thinking and yet it seems to be disappearing from our schools. Please donate whatever you can for these deserving students and help them have the same enjoyable art experience!
