Celebrating 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
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
Every year the library and the art class collaborate on a research project about famous activist. Students read about, discuss, research and write about an activist. This study is then used to find an iconic picture of the person to use in a Pop-Art project modeled after Andy Warhol's work. Students learn to use printshop, how to scale, about color schemes in this project. The work is then printed and matted to be displayed in the library for a gallery exhibit. Students are curators and lead people on tours of their famous activists.
We need some heavy duty print cartridges and printers to make this Activist Pop Art project a success.
Student need to print and display their work in order to share with other students what they have learned.
We need a high end printer that can print many student projects. The printer needs to print in color and handle the high use of a school environment. In addition to the printer, we need ink to ensure that each student gets their work printed and the shelving to hold the materials and printer safely.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
