Help me give my students a sketchpad of their own, a set of coloring pencils and watercolors.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Morales's classroom raised $671
This project is fully funded
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
My students are creative and ready to create art projects! They have all been doing virtual learning since the beginning of the school year and have tried their best to make the most out of it. I appreciate them for being so open to new experiences and engaging in all of the activities. Many of students have expressed the need for supplies at home so that they can create art. I know that they are already being so creative with online learning but I'm sure they would benefit a lot from having supplies of their own at home.
My Project
Since the beginning of the year I have been focused on making my lessons more virtual friendly because some of the students do not have art materials at home. Instead we have been drawing virtually but the students are eager to use and explore different materials. We are currently working on a portrait project in which I encourage them to think about different mediums but not all of them have the ability to explore that. I think that if they had their own set of materials at home for example a sketchpad, watercolors and colored pencils it could really help them gain new skills and have fun with art again. It will also help establish a set of materials that I know my students have because not all of them are able to go out and purchase these supplies.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
