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.

Due to the rigor of the traditional academic curriculum in my school, my students do not have art classes on a regular basis! It's time to catch them up and bring them back in-touch with their artsy side. I am not an art teacher, but I do try. We folded 1,000 origami paper cranes for the Sadako Project in September and drew with scissors like Matisse, making our own Jazz Cut-Outs in October. I'd like to do more projects like these to expose my students to a variety of medium, but I need supplies. Can you help me? I'd love to purchase beautiful watercolor sets and high-quality paper for my students to use. Further, I'd love to get their hands on pastels so they can experiment with that medium as well. I'd also love to get them into sand art and much more. However, due to the financial hardships that nearly all of my students' families face, I desperately need your help to make sure all of my students have the art supplies they need to develop their artistic sides. You never know... the next David Hockney or Frida Kahlo may come out of my classroom with your help! Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
