A Creative Cause

Help me give my students more supplies to create imaginative ideas through the vehicle of ART!!!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Serrano's classroom raised $967

This project is fully funded

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 Project

These specific items I requested will help students add vibrant colors to their projects using different media. The clay will be used to create sculptures and the tissue for collages.

These supplies will allow students to accelerate in knowledge and experience of art history.

Art provides students with enrichment that helps with positive social and emotional opportunities. These opportunities present an outlet that help with proactive mental health. Students are allowed to create art that is original to them but also personal. Students will learn about many modern artist and recreate projects in the genre styles they learn.
