Help me give my students the opportunity they deserve to create art independently.

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

My incredible Life Skills and Multiple Disability Students deserve to have incredible independent art experiences! These items will assist and enable them to meet their goals and have a wonderful creative experience! The art room should be a place where everyone feels welcome and accepted.

Some of the everyday tools we have are difficult for special populations to use independently.

I am requesting some items that we will use daily and others that I will use for a large-scale quilt project. I envision students printing and painting their own fabric and mixing it up with colorful fabric pieces in a collaborative quilt that we will hang on the walls of our school.
