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

I absolutely love how curious and enthusiastic my students are when it comes to discovering new ways to express themselves. Each one brings a unique perspective to the table, and their creativity is endless. Whether it's through the strokes of a paintbrush or the sketch of a pencil, I see them finding their voices and gaining confidence with every project.

The art supplies we need will directly help them grow in so many ways.

A fresh set of paints and brushes will allow them to experiment with color theory and texture, helping them learn about the emotional impact that color can have on a piece.

Each resource empowers them to not only learn about art, but to also build problem-solving skills, embrace creativity, and develop confidence in their abilities. Every supply is an investment in their future—one that fosters both personal expression and academic growth. It's about more than just art; it’s about shaping how they see the world and themselves.
