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

Students love to learn about and experiment with different art materials! In our classes we normally do drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media projects.

We need paints and glazes to add color and vibrancy to our projects!

Our older buildings have power outlets in less than ideal locations and the extension cords will allow better arrangements for using hot glue guns and other electric tools for sculpture projects.

These supplies will have a huge impact so students can learn color theory, watercolor techniques, and so much more. I can't wait to see the smiles on their faces when they see our beautiful selection of paints and glazes!
