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 create amazing art! Their ingenuity and creativity is astonishing!

I love what I do, and I love my students.

They find excitement in every art project they do, and I am often inspired by their ideas. They take pride in their work and are confident in their artistic abilities.

They thrive when they are given an opportunity to work with a variety of art materials. It is because of them that the atmosphere at our school shines bright with fabulous beautiful art!

My Project

These materials will provide my students with the capability to use their creativity and imagination. They will be able to make 3-eyed monsters come to life with the use of googly eyes. After reading a a story about the life of Kandinsky, students will be able to make watercolor paintings inspired by music, just as Kandinsky once did. I would love to see the ideas they will come up with if given the opportunity to use buttons, pom-poms, and pipe cleaners. The possibilities are endless! The materials I have requested will allow my students to bring their creative ideas to life.
