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

My students are curious, imaginative, and always eager to explore new ideas. They each bring unique perspectives and creativity to the classroom, and their passion for learning is infectious. It’s a privilege to witness their growth and development, especially when they engage in artistic expression. Their enthusiasm for discovering new ways to communicate through art makes them truly special.he art supplies

I’m requesting, colored pencils, markers and other materials, will provide my students with the tools they need to fully explore their creativity.

These resources will allow them to experiment with different techniques, express their emotions, and develop new skills. Having access to quality materials will give them the freedom to create without limitations, fostering confidence in their artistic abilities.

By incorporating a wide range of supplies, students can try their hands at everything from drawing and painting to sculpture and mixed media. These varied mediums will help them better understand different art forms, while also sharpening their problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they work through creative challenges.
