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

My students are learning how to creating meaningful works of using using technology. They are using their visual skills and cultural references to show their inner student voices. Help us to display these works of digital art professionally by donating to our classroom. The Matte cutter and foam edger will help us to display these student artworks in the school, district and allow my students to participate in local and national art shows.

While we are progressing into a digital paperless realm, the tactile manipulative of their creations give them a sense of pride.
