Art Makes Learning Fun!

Help me give my students painting easels to paint for art. Students love creating art projects and painting and it's nice for students to have easels to place their paper to paint.

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

I have 24 kindergarten/ first grade students. These students enjoy art like painting, drawing and coloring. They enjoy working together in groups and with a partner.

Most of my students come from low-income homes and don't have the opportunity to use different materials to be creative.

They enjoy music and creating things. Art is a way students like to express themselves. We do art three times a week and relate it to the season, our theme in reading for the week, or holidays.

My Project

We connect art to many subjects in our class. We paint animals for science and social studies. We connect it to reading and writing and group presentations.

Students enjoy creating their own art projects that are related to their family.

Paintings of their family, or a trip they took with their family is sometimes the themes that students paint. The art easels and paint brushes will help students have more materials to use to paint. The paint containers will help students keep the paint from dropping.

Students will also need aprons to help keep their clothing clean from paint. Learning is more fun when students are able to include some creativity with art.
