Art Club Making Preparations for the Winter Show

Help me give my students art supplies to prepare for winter chorus performance.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Darby's classroom raised $485

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 Students

We live in an ever-increasing visual world. We are constantly exposed to images. Images are all around us...on tvs, computers, phones, newspapers, books, billboards, etc... To help my students better understand the modern world,  I provide activities that foster visual literacy. Visual literacy is the ability to understand and produce visual messages. It is a staple of 21st century skills. How can we give our students 21st skills without the proper tools?

Our students are amazing!

We have some of the most creative, artistic and inspiring students around. Our students live on the Lower East Side but have roots from around the world—China, Bangladesh, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic—just to name a few. We are an exciting bunch! Many of our students are working on learning a second language. Our school has a dual language program for Mandarin and Spanish. The diversity in our students makes for an exciting learning environment for all— especially in the art room. Our students bring their unique experiences and rich culture into everything they do. What amazing art they create! What wonderful stories they have to share!

My Project

Our school is filled with students who love to express themselves in creative ways. As a way to support creative expression, I host an art club outside of the regular school schedule. Over the next few weeks, my amazingly awesome art club students will be working on creating artwork for our school’s winter performance. The materials requested in this project will allow the art club to showcase their talents by making beautiful displays for the show.

By donating to this project, you will ensure that our art club students have the necessary materials needed to enhance our chorus performance with beauty.

Your donation will be greatly appreciated by our art club students and our school community.
