My Students

I have the pleasure of teaching art to a group of creative, respectful, and hungry-minded inner-city middle/high school students.

We are a Title I public charter school that serves 97% low-income Hispanic families in an underserved community.

However, my students are proof that curiosity is contagious.

My Project

Teaching in a disadvantaged community, the students do not typically get to experience the standard level of art education.

And therefore, I would like to help provide my students with the much needed and basic art supplies necessary for at-home distance learning.

For example, last year we were 100% virtual and my art program was condensed to copy paper or lined paper and a standard #2 pencils because our students cannot afford any art supplies or art materials.

The simple fact of my students knowing that they are receiving higher level art supplies and that knowing they have received something special helps raise their self efficacy.
