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

As an elementary school art teacher, I’m excited to introduce sculpture and hands-on clay work into my classroom next year. Right now, my cart includes some essential clay supplies like Play-Doh and Crayola Air-Dry Clay to get started. These materials will allow my students to learn the fundamentals of sculpting, build their fine motor skills, and express their creativity in 3D. However, I need additional resources to bring their artistic visions to life.

Help give my students the opportunity to explore the world of sculpture by providing the tools and materials needed to shape, mold, and create.

With your support, they will gain the hands-on experience that will foster both their artistic growth and their confidence as young creators.
