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

As the year continues, my advanced art students have expressed their interest in working with a variety of different canvas in class and with your help, I can provide them with those options. I would like to continue nurturing their creativity by allowing them to choose from a variety of canvas during these next few projects to encourage their experimentation. My students continue creating works of art that express their points of views as artist.

My students continue to push themselves as artists and have risen to top in meeting deadlines and expectations based on the lessons!

Their work continues to inspire other students to want to continue taking art and their talent is admired by everyone.
