Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Hello! I'm an art teacher, K-8, at a school in Downtown Indianapolis. In addition to my regular art classes, I also teach four digital arts classes. I'm teaching digital photography second semester (now!) and we don't have digital cameras. We are going to use iPads for the time being. My students need very basic, beginner cameras. Amazon has them starting at $20. I need thirty. My students could pair up and share too. I would appreciate your support and thank you for your time!

My Project

Hello! I'm a visual arts teacher and I also teach digital arts; specifically, digital photography. I have a great group of middle school students and they're ready to learn everything they can about photography! We will study famous photographers, incorporate the elements of art, specifically value study. Students will learn about the Rule of Thirds and create portraits, landscapes, abstract, still life and finally something that they choose along with an artist statement. We have a beautiful area to explore in Downtown Indy. We're located near the White River and Lucas Oil Stadium. We are all grateful for your support. Thank you!
