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 firmly believe art is what makes us human. I am a retired teacher now working with a volunteer art program (CRAVE) at my school. It's an excellent program that supports all the students as a supplement to the curriculum.

The school is an ethnically and socio-economically diverse city school in an older neighborhood.

The students are pre-school to 5th graders who love their art. For most of the students, this is their first experience with learning about making art that is more than holiday crafts. They are so excited to learn about new medium and technique along with learning about famous artists.

My Project

When making art children are able to express themselves in ways they don't even understand. They have to make choices about colors and space, contrast and perception, shape,form, emotion, and composition.

The fantastic new art program at our school is run by hard-working volunteers using donated supplies.

We have made projects using a variety of medium and tools. Now it is time to explore painting with brushes. Only problem is, we don't have many brushes. For this we turn to you and your dedication to art in the elementary schools to help us reach our goals. We can do it together.
