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

I am asking you to donate to my classroom so that my students can obtain some essential painting supplies. This past month I have been painting with several grade levels and I am quickly running out and of and canvas. Nothing captures my student's attention and love for art more than painting on canvas with acrylic paint.

What I love about painting especially is that while we are all using a reference photo for our inspirations, each student has their own individual style and take on what we are painting.

Please help us obtain these materials so we can explore more in the world of art!
