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

This project holds great significance for me. This year, I am surrounded by creative and unique artists. I've observed their passion for using colored pencils to express themselves. Unfortunately, my colored pencils have been reduced to little nubs, and I've had to discard many of them. I want to ensure my students remain inspired to use colored pencils, as their artwork truly shines compared to crayons.

Currently, my colored pencils look like little nub/golf pencils, and I have had to throw away a lot of them.

I do not want to discourage my students from using colored pencils, as their artwork looks so much better than crayons. This project holds great significance for me. I would love your support.
