Celebrating 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
My art students are in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Five, and our school is of the highest need. One hundred percent of our student population receive free breakfast and lunch daily. The school is high in need, it is also highly caring as teachers, support staff, and administration work hard to create a positive learning environment. Here, Art is a crucial component of each student’s education. Visual art is a language for students of all languages, an outlet of expression, and a problem-solving building block. Student artworks are proudly displayed in our halls, and in community events including Art and Literacy Night, and in virtual art galleries. Annually at the Wadsworth Atheneum a selection of our students’ artworks are displayed in the Hartford Youth Art Renaissance.
This school year my students could share art supplies, and providing supplies for in-person and distance learning consumed every our Art supplies--and next year's budget cuts will not sufficiently replaced these.
I will not have enough Art supplies for next years' students. As we transition back to full in-person learning, facing post-COVID trauma and uncertainty, not having Art supplies is dreadful. I just want my students to be able to create and express themselves.
My Project
Whether we draw, paint, collage, print, or weave, we need paper. It is such a basic but crucial part of every Art class, and I have so little of it. I have only been given four reams of 9 x 12 paper, and those will be long gone early in the school. Even with erasers, planning, and inspiration, my students will have nowhere near the amount they need.
We can be flexible with supplies used on our drawing paper, but drawing paper is the keys to the car--we go nowhere without it.
The limited budget our school has provided our Art room is about fifty-six cents per student, and my students need help stretching this out.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
