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.

I teach art in grades K-5 and my students are always eager to explore art and get creative. I am inspired by their love of learning and each year I work to create an even more exciting and interactive art studio environment for them. Our school is located in the heart of a culturally diverse neighborhood. Our students' families work incredibly hard to provide for their children and a large portion of the student population is economically disadvantaged.

I want my students to love learning and to become creative thinkers. Most of them have never had the chance to visit a museum or art gallery or visit another country to explore its cultural history and artistic traditions. My goal is to enhance their exposure to the world of art and to give them background knowledge of different cultures and countries so that they will gain a deeper appreciation for diversity and the arts. This deeper understanding of the arts will strengthen their abilities to make connections between other subject areas and they will gain new interests. In order for this to happen I need to set-up the art studio with an LCD projector so that I can take students on virtual tours to museums and places all over the world. The problem is there is not enough funding to purchase this technology for the art studio. More than 450 students would benefit from this equipment during their art classes each week.

Imagine the possibilities of being able to access just about any art museum from any part of the world and to be able to show these magical places to children. It would spark lively conversations, peek curiosity and create an environment of creativity and exploration. Students would be able to take their learning in art farther than ever before with this one small addition of an LCD projector.

Your help will make it possible for my students to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, The Louvre in Paris, The Prado Museum in Spain and so many more! You will be helping to inspire future generations of artists and inspired creative thinkers. With your help, my students will have the chance to experience the world of art despite their economic situation and these tough economic times. Thank you so much!
