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

Join me in igniting creativity and self-expression among my freshman students by supporting my end of the year "Artifacts of Character" project. In this interdisciplinary initiative, each freshman will delve into the depths of their independent reading novels, extracting elements that resonate deeply with their characters.

With your generous contribution, I aim to gather essential materials such as molds, resin coating and mixing supplies, and decorative items to be casted.

Students will be able to select from a variety of molds in order to create authentic artifacts. These resources will enable my amazing students to encapsulate the essence of their literary journey into mesmerizing resin artworks.

"In resin art, every pour tells a story." With your support, each pour will become a narrative, woven with threads of imagination, character exploration, and artistic flair. By bridging literature and art, I will not only foster a deeper appreciation for both disciplines but also empower our students to engage in meaningful self-reflection.

Through their crafted artifacts, students will not only showcase their understanding of literature but also unveil layers of their own character, demonstrating the profound impact of literature on personal growth and self-awareness. This is a great way to honor and celebrate their reading journey this year. It will be tangible evidence of their literary journey. Let's unite to cultivate a community where every artistic creation becomes a testament to the power of storytelling and self-expression.

Grades 9-12
