Help me give my students paint and art and crafts materials for their art center.

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

Currently, the students have to replenish our supply of washable tempera paint. With the paint the students will be able to study various artists/paintings and create paintings related to various painters/artists. The materials will be used specifically for painting on the classroom easel and art center. The way preschool students convey meaning is through art and pictures, so use of paint is necessary for daily use. Having these materials in the classroom are so important for instructional purposes and daily use because it will help my students with hands-on learning, convey meaning through art and writing, and enhance artistic and creative skills.
