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 are eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime - yet, they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services. When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive. We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.

My Project

For this proposal, I am requesting a Cricut machine and accessories which is an computerized, die-cut machine that cleanly cuts letters and shapes that then can be applied to t shirts, tote bags, mugs, and other products students can create for fundraising.

Students will learn valuable lessons in graphic design, fundraising, and financial literacy.

The Cricut machine connects to a computer to cut out virtually any shape you can think of or create. Students will work together to design products, then use their school clubs and students government to sell inventory to raise funds for graduation, but also demonstrate school pride. This machine can also benefit infusing art and STEM concepts into the curriculum is so important for my students.

This project is important for the sense of pride and self-worth for my young students. When they learn about the generous donors that care about them and their art, they feel better about themselves and are more willing to put extra effort into their art. With professional quality markers, they will know immediately that their art potential is valuable. The supplies will inspire and make students feel more worthy.
