Art Lives Forever

Help me give my students arts supplies to engage them in visual and creative learning environments. Even simple canvas paint pieces will be wonderful pieces that could help their inner selves in the future, and forever.

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

The items that I am requesting including paint brushes, acrylic paint, canvases, and plastic pallets are all items I need to inspire my students. This will make a difference in their learning through creative outlets and enable a positive and open-minded environment, as students will be able to create their own unique and different personalized art. They will of course be able to take their art pieces home, where their art pieces will continue on forever in their lives, as a good memory from this school and emotions. I hope to inspire them and make a great impact through artistic creativity from an overall dense educational school day.

My students are very special, but sometimes they can't relate their creativity or relax and learn through an open minded environment, so enabling this type of setting will create not only great impacts in their school life, but also their personal and home life.

My students deserve a good learning and creative environment, just like everyone else.

Grades 6-8
