Help me give my students curtains and fabric to hide away supplies that fill our shelves to make our classroom look neater.

Celebrating 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 teach general education students as well as special needs students. My school is in a very urban location. We are located in Paterson, New Jersey. Most students are not dominant in the English language. Our school has breakfast in the classroom program and lunch in the cafeteria because much of our population struggles with having basic needs met.
My students love to come into the art class even over Google Meets because they have a chance to become critical thinkers and independently create original artwork that relates to them on a personal level.
They are able to explore their emotions and release their frustrations by tapping into their inner thoughts and creating artwork that inspires me and others to keep creating and evolving artistically. I am inspired by my students daily.
Art therapy is a creative method of expression used as a therapeutic technique. Students will be able to create art that will help them understand their emotions, relieve stress, and create positive and uplifting artistic pieces. Students will learn how to become more intuitive and self-aware.
My Project
The fate of an art teacher is to collect and save materials for projects. I love collecting cardboard. I tell everyone "Hey it's free canvas!" I use yogurt cups to wash our brushes. I use plastic egg cartons as paint palettes. I have the students color the bottom half of water caps to make their own googly eyes.
The problem with being a collector (couch, cough hoarder) is that I have to find places and spaces to store all the things I collect.
It would be great to hide away some of these unsightly materials that are filling up my shelves with curtains or fabric so that the classroom looks a little neater.
More than half of students from low‑income households
