Expressing My Emotions in a Healthy Way---through Art

Help me give my students the opportunity to express their emotions through art. Help me teach them that art can be use to express their happiness, anger, frustration, or fears with the use of paint, brushes, and canvases.

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

Expression of emotions are a natural way to show others what we are thinking and we have experienced. However, many times this expression is shown in an unhealthy way via yelling, fighting, self-harm. The goal is for the students at my school to have an opportunity to express their emotions in a healthy manner and most importantly in a safe environment.

Many students have a difficult time verbalizing their emotions but hold so much pain and my goal is to provide them a safe outlet through art to share their emotions.

My hope is for my students to make connections between their own feelings (anger, frustration, hope, fear, worry) through art (shapes, lines, words, pictures).

The supplies will allow me to create an opportunity for my students of the high school to find a healthier way to manage, process, and express their emotions and feelings. The dream: for art to be a standard in helping students express themselves.
