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 am a French teacher who teaches primarily low-income, first-generation or immigrant students. Many, if not most, of them have never heard of Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Seurat, etc. I would like to enhance my teaching of these iconic artist by having them recreate their art in class with the requested paint, brushes, paper, and canvas panels.

I am finding more and more that students learn best by doing hands-on work.

This is why I am requesting painting supplies for my classes. I have seen other French teachers around the country do such projects to great success. Now it is SRHS students' turn to have such an enriching artistic, cultural experience.

Thank you for considering!
