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 Project

Currently, our students are working on makeshift surfaces that are not conducive to creating their best work. This not only limits their ability to develop their skills but also affects their confidence and enthusiasm for art. By providing new easels, we can create a more professional and inspiring environment for our students. Our school is dedicated to nurturing the creativity and artistic talents of our students. However, we currently lack the necessary resources to provide our young artists with the tools they need to fully express themselves.

Our Studio Arts program is in need of new art easels to enhance our students' learning experience.

Easels are essential for allowing students to work comfortably and effectively on their art projects. They help students maintain proper posture, provide a stable surface for their work, and allow them to view their artwork from different angles.

With your generous support, we aim to purchase 4 high-quality art easels. These easels will enable our students to explore various art techniques, improve their skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for the arts. Your donation will directly contribute to the growth and development of our young artists.
