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 Students

Our school is in a very rural setting of Texas, in a small town. Most students that come to our school are from an economically disadvantaged background. This, however, does not extinguish their curiosity or love of art - just the opposite.

Most students that come into my room have hope in their eyes and want to explore different mediums.

I think that art can be a great escape from any troubles they may be facing. They love creating art in my room and many times are so proud that they give their finished piece to a loved one as a gift.

My Project

At the beginning of the school year, I surveyed each and every art student that takes art at Hempstead High School. I asked them what type of art project would EXCITE them. The OVERWHELMING response was clay, sculpture, ceramics, etc. All of these mediums require something - a KILN!

That is where I come to you for help.

We do not have it in our budget to buy a kiln, and all of the supplies that go with it right now. Please help us to make the student's artistic dreams a reality, by donating to our budding ceramics art program.
