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

My students are eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime - yet, they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services. When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive. We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.

My Project

Basic office supplies are quintessential for the working order of the art room. While on lockdown, the dust, the mice droppings, and dead cockroaches piled up, necessitating a massive cleanout. Now the art room is in desperate need of new office supplies. The art room needs a new laminating machine to protect our resources, paper cutters, and simple craft supplies. I am hoping to have the art room clean, set up, and organized so students feel some comfort when we are transitioning back into a new school year. I have had worked hard to create an art space that is welcoming, comfortable, and will now be in the process of renovating the space to accommodate our new needs.
